Full description

O1, Not outstanding. Remains of the moat surveyed at 1:2500;
O3, Bordering a fen adjoining village - this report is of the W enclosure only : the E part is developed.
O4, Evidence exists of the NE inner corner of the moat - not shown on the OS 1:2500 survey. A drain leading from the SW corner of this moat has been infilled. This was presumably part of the W enclosure mentioned by the RCHM. Also the N boundary of this W enclosure appears to have been infilled soon after the RCHM report. There is a discrepancy between the existing SMR and RCHM reports as to which enclosure the house stands in. Farm buildings certainly stood to the E on OS 1:2500 map 1886 and Enclosure Award Map. The layout of the now infilled drain to the SW and the likely extension to the NW, given the current OS 1:2500 depiction, does suggest an enclosure to the W was likely. This is further supported by the 1886 map showing a line of trees possibly forming a W and N boundary of an enclosure to the W. See RN 01122a - house.
