April 1975. Field survey.
To the south of the house are two arms of a homestead moat, the southern portion of which is being filled in, but the rest is waterfilled. No trace of a continuation was found on the other sides of the house, though low ground to the north probably marks its course.
Published survey (25") revised. <10> <11>
