[TQ 55962053] The site of a mound surrounded by an excavation in the form of a dry circular moat. (1)

This very unusual site comprises a small heart-shaped island surrounded by what appears to be a moat: the whole excavated out of the valley side and contiguous to a small stream. If it were not for the unusual shape the site would be classifiable as a homestead moat. As it is the possibility that is merely the result of clay or ironstone digging cannot be ignored. Surveyed at 1:2500. (2)
