Description
NRHE data transfer:
December 1975. Grade II listed.
Possible remains of a moat seem to be suggested by a pond at TL 7691 1985 which embraces the northeast corner of a barn, now terminated at its south end by a new ramped entrance. Beyond this a depression is mostly filled in, but on the 25" 1953 map a stream is shown curving westwards about the farm buildings. <1>
A possible moat is visible on 6"map to the south of the house. <2> <3> <4>
