Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Moat. <1>
Moat about 1 mile east-north-east of the church. <2>
Name mentioned 1416. <3>
September 1971. Field visit.
It is very doubtful if the building was moated as it occurs on a slope. There are ponds to the east and south-west of the house and a ditch to the west, which may have been erroneously assumed to be part of a moat. <4>
