Full description
1981.
Possible moated site of Thorpe Manor discovered.

Dissertation reports that informant found two flint tools, one Raeren, one Bellarmine and 18th century Glazed Red Earthenware outside the moat.

North and east arms do not appear to be more than field ditches. West and south however broader and more moat like. All masked by thick scrub and tree cover. Dimensions difficult to assess.
