Yew Tree Farm moat (EHER 549)

The remains of a homestead moat survive to the north of Yewtree Farm. It formerly measured 80 metres east-west by 100 metres north-south with arms about 14 metres wide; the eastern and part of the southern arm have now been ploughed out and survive as shallow depressions. The northern arm still holds water but the western arm is dry and choked with scrub. A heavy tile scatter within the enclosure marks the site of former buildings.
