Full Description
{1} To the south of Muscott House another ditch, now hardly traceable but apparently 2m deep before it was levelled, may have continued north-westwards and surrounded the house and farmyard as a double enclosure. This assumed moat may have connected with the late medieval gatehouse which still stands on the north-west side of the farmyard. Earthwork Plan.
