(TL 301271) Ardeley Bury (NAT) Moat (NR) (1)

Ardeley Bury, Grade 2. A late 16th century brick house,
retaining little of its original character as it was greatly
altered about 1820 "with many Gothic conceits".

The moat is wide, deep and dry with an inner rampart on the
north-west. (2-3)

A homestead moat surrounding Ardeley Bury, basically a 19th
century mock-Tudor residence, but according to the owner,
containing some original Tudor work. The moat is complete though
dry, save for the south part of the north-east arm which has
been filled in. It has been mutilated by later landscaping
which is responsible for the alleged "inner rampart" in the
north arc, which is merely a garden feature.

Published survey (25") revised. (4)
