Description
NRHE data transfer:
The Sites and Monuments Record describes the probable remains of a moat at this location with part of the east arm and most of the south arm surviving, forming an L-shape. An ‘L’-shaped pond is depicted to the south and south-east of Mangrove Cottages on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1881. This continues to be shown on later mapping and is still extant today. What is not clear from the available evidence is whether this is the surviving remnant of a moat, or whether it has always been just an L-shaped pond. The site was assessed in 2005 but was not Scheduled. <1>
