More information : [SE 5815 1506] Moat Hill [GT]. (1)
Resurveyed at 1:2500. This well-defined homestead moat is now dry. A poorly defined depression attached to the N side is probably the remains of a fishpond. (2)
SE 582151. Fenwick "Moat Hill", though both enclosure and
surrounding land flat." This moat may have belonged to an old Templar property, but identification is not secure. (3)
SE 581 151. Moat Hill, moated site. Moated site in excellent
condition under pasture, but surrounded by ploughland. The field to the E is ridge and furrow. The moat itself is almost square, with an unploughed platform in the centre. This bears no visible sign of buildings, but that this was a habitation site is strongly suggested by a projection in the moat to the N which may have been a fishpond. (4)
SE 5815 1507. Moat Hill moated site. Scheduled RSM no. 13221. (5)
Possible site of a fortified house documented in 1271. (6)
A medieval moat and possible fishpond are visible as earthworks on air photographs at SE 5815 1506.
The moat is sub-rectangular in form and comprises a broad ditch which is crossed by a causeway to the east. It measures approximately 56m by 50m.
An irregular pond abuts the moat ditch to the north and may be a fishpond.
