Field to the west of Blunts Hall is called `Castle Baileys' and a slight bank is visible. <1> See aerial photographs <2> <3>. 'There are traces of another low bank following the curve of the road to the east of the modern farm which may represent the late medieval site.' (i.e. post-dating Blunts Hall moated site, probably 12th century). <1> See EHER 8187, 8188, 8191, for finds from the area. NRHE data transfer: September 1976. Field survey. In the adjoining field to the west of the moat (EHER 8192) known locally as 'Castle Baileys' there is a slight bank 0.1m. high extending 50.0m. from the track and running parallel but 10.0m. from the road. It appears to be unconnected with the moat and limited perambulation due to standing crop produced no finds. It is possibly an old field bank. The feature east of the farm has been destroyed by modern housing development. Published 1:2500 survey revised. <5>
