Remains of medieval moat and later house at Sawyers Hall (EHER 556)

The remains of a medieval rectangular homestead moat are visible on south and east sides of Sawyer's Hall, though the arms have been reduced to drainage ditches measuring about 4m wide. Elsewhere the moat has been destroyed by farm buildings. The house itself was described as 'derelict' in 1975 and it is unclear whether it remains extant.
