[TA 1286 6424] Moat [G.T.] (1)

Resurveyed at 1/2500, a well defined moated enclosure now dry, but in mainly good condition. No structural remains are visible. Earthworks at TA 1295 6421 appear to be the remains of two (Possibly three) fishponds. (2)

Originally a complex site. The moats on the modern OS map appear to be fishponds lately enlarged. Enclosed with "walls and ditches" by 1530. House on island. (3)

Scrappy cropmarks of ditches at TA 1261 6443 and TA 1264 6404 are probably associated with the medieval earthworks mentioned above. At TA 1266 6432 broad cropmark may indicate a fishpond. (4)
