In wet grassland on a S-facing slope of rising ground in upland region with good views in all directions. Enclosure (TS055-058----) 220m to the N. Moated site consists of a slightly raised square-shaped area (int. dims. 30m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1m) mainly reduced to a scarp and outer fosse (base Wth 2.5m; top Wth 4.5m; ext. D 0.6m) visible from NW through N to E only elsewhere it has been filled in. No clear entrance feature visible although there are gaps along all four sides of the moated site averaging 2.5m wide, all of which appear to be cattle gaps, S corner has been quarried out (Wth 6m). Interior has been planted in trees at the turn of the century which have caused considerable damage. The enclosing bank is best preserved along its NE side elsewhere it has been reduced to a scarp. Classic moated site in classic location. Field boundary shown intersecting with N corner of moated site no longer visible, field bank has been removed. Centre of N, S , E and W banks has a gap (Avg. Wth 2.5m), these all appear to be livestock entrances. Moated site is in a fair to poor condition, enclosing features are poorly preserved while interior is in a fair to good condition.
