Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Late 12th or 13th century pottery was found in a ditch at Naylinghurst by Mr and Mrs Dawes in 1974. P. Crummy suggests that this may be a moated manor, though evidence of OS 2nd Ed goes against this, showing merely an enlarged pond, similar to those at all the farmhouses in this area. Apparently the finder had ironwork and an imbrex fragment (EHER 6454). <1> - <3>
According to this source the site is a "moated manor with Norman documentation". <4>
Tracing from OS 2nd Ed in SMR. <5>
