Full description
Moat northwest of Bale Hall.
Shown by Ordnance Survey as L shaped, as it also appears on (S1).
13 November 1979. Visited by E. Rose (NAU).
Close inspection not possible owing to absence of owner.
The north and east sides remain as on map but a new extention has apparently made it T shaped, and the surrounding area is landscaped.
