Description
Castle Ditch recorded c 1350; in 1381 a moated capital messuage at Wallop. Field name Moat Bank at grid ref cited <1>
The mound like feature at this grid ref appears to be a natural hillock. The moated capital messuage recorded in 1381 was probably at Wallop Hall, SJ31530766, see PRN 2982. M Watson FI 1981 <2>
Moat Field to the South-West of Lower wallop Farm may be the site of Wallop Castle, a `moated capital messuage with a dovecote' documented in 1381. A castle ditch is referred to in 1350. <3>
