Summary
Corner Farmhouse, in the village of Hardwick, is a 17th century timber-framed house, the south front of which was faced in brick in the early 19th century. Aerial photographs taken in 1989 indicate this site also has earthworks. These have been interpreted as either a medieval hollow way, a medieval village green or perhaps the remains of a moat around the farmhouse.

Seen from road, the depression still exists within a garden. It looks more a ditch, possibly a former common edge, but not obviously in an appropriate alignment compared to nearby houses.
B. Cushion (NLA), September 1997.
Holloway around 30 meters runs northeast from farmhouse. Slight depression in lawn to southeast supports old willows. Owner says local legend states farm was moated.
