Full Description
{2} The moated site consisted of a small rectangular island, 30m by 40m, apparently raised slightly above the adjacent ground and surrounded by a deep ditch 12m wide. The ditch on the north east side and part of the island had already been damaged before destruction, by the realignment and deepening of the original stream. There was a large external bank to the south east.
