However in 1986 just south of island were found the following:
Context 1.
Ten glazed Grimston.
Thirteen medieval unglazed.
Two glazed red earthenware.
Two post medieval stonewares.
All found close together.

The only feature which remains in pasture, west of Willow Farm is a small pond, with old willow and dead wood in it. There are no obvious earthworks to suggest a moated site.
