Full description
PRN 60273
Remains of a homestead moat which was once the seat of the families of Creons (or Crouns) and Pedwardines, situated to the south-west of the church. {1}{2}
The current Manor House within the moat is 19th century. {1}
Only the eastern arm of the moat remains and this is 48m long, 7m wide and water filled. The later building work on and around the platform has destroyed any evidence of the north and south arms but a dip in the ground between the house and the church does suggest an original, almost square raised platform surrounded on four sides by a moat. {3}
This site may have originated prior to the Norman conquest. Its earliest discernable phase, however, appears to be a motte, presumably of the 12th century, on which Manor Farm House currently stands (although indications of the bailey are not immediately apparent). The site appears to have been remodelled in the 14th century and may have been surrounded by a stone wall at this time. There is also evidence of possible stone robbing or dumping activity in the form of deep double ditches to the south and west. It is also suggested that this site is the 'burg' referred to in the 'Burton' element of the village name. {5}
