Type and Period
Description
1976. Field survey.
North-west and south-east of Wieldbarns Farm are two waterfilled ponds. The Ordnance Survey does not consider these to be the remains of a moat as a connection between the two to form a continuous moat around the house would have been impossible due to ground slope. <1> - <8>
NRHE data transfer:
1975. Field survey.
To the north-west and south-east of Wieldbarns (sic) are two water-filled ponds. A connection between the two to form a continuous moat around the house would be impossible due to ground slope. Not an antiquity. There is no evidence of a moat on a tithe map of 1843. <9>
