[Area: SJ 70956098] The site of the house fortified by Sir John Trussel 12 EDw.III, adjoins the south side of Warmingham church and is still marked by strong earthworks. (1)

The feature is at SJ 70976106 and may be the remains of a rectilinear moat of uneven sides. The east side consists of a wide pond, now dry with outer retaining bank. The north side and part of the west side consists of a largely filled-in hollow extending through a graveyard and cottage garden. There are indications that the south side was never constructed. There is no trace of an associated building. Surveyed at 1/2,500. (2)

Sir Thomas Trussell was granted a licence to crenellate his manor house in 1349. (3)
