Full description

Across this land the undercroft of the earlier manor house survives. It is probable that this large building platform may also be associated with the manor house.

Vis=est -/-/1990 (rchme) an artificial earthwork platform generally as described above.

NMR CITING SAINSBURY, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV103574.

E of the churchyard extension wall the ground level is some 1.2m higher than the platform to the w. From the n end of the platform the n side may have extended ne just to the s of a ne-sw hedge line. Almost abutting the hedge a slight n facing scarp can be seen marking the limit of the churchyard extension but the hollow between this scarp and the hedge is being infilled with soil. May well be associated with the manor house (nmr citing sainsbury).
