What is recorded here
On flat elevated reclaimed grassland in upland area with good views in all directions. Nearby stream to W with fish-pond (TS049-044----) and enclosure (TS049-041----) to 150m and 400m to the W respectively. All that is visible of the moated site are a series of low undulating earthworks of a much degraded D-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 40m N-S x 35m E-W) defined by a filled in moat now visible as a cropmark (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.2m). Depicted on the 1st (1840) OS 6-inch map as a square-shaped area with possible building (TS049-045001-) in the centre of the moated site and with field boundaries intersecting the at N and S. These field boundaries were removed by the 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map. The moated site may have been levelled between 1840 and 1905 when the field boundaries were being removed. The monument shows up on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (26)14-18) as a roughly D-shaped cropmark of a levelled moated site.
