Full Description
{1} Moat (?) (SP 796432), lies on the N.E. side of The Priory, close to the R. Tove, on river gravel at 64m. above OD. An L-shaped ditch with a maximum depth of 1.3m. is correctly shown on OS 1:2500 plan SP 7943. There is no trace of other sides and it is uncertain whether the feature is a genuine medieval moat or a later landscape feature. The latter is more likely.
{4} The remains of the moat are very slight, see annotated 25" survey.
