Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Moat (NR). <1> Fragmentary remains of a moat surround Worlds End, a house which is of 16th century date. Grade II. <2> June 1960. Field visit. Incomplete homestead moat. All that remains is the south arm, dry and in a fair but overgrown condition. <3> August 1976. Field survey. The fragmentary linear ponds, average 6.0m width by 1.5m deep, visible around the north east side of the house do not appear to form a moat. They have been mutilated by later tipping and identification is now uncertain. The water feature on the south side of the house appears to be no more than a field ditch. Published 1:2500 survey 1955 revised. <4> <5> 1978. Field visit. Incomplete, irregular moat, 8m wide by 1m deep, wet in places. Flat enclosure. Several adjacent ponds.
