Information from (S1).
Ordnance Survey map shows a pond paralleling the two ranges of the house but some distance to the northeast. Could this be a moat?

(S2) in file states that the building stand son the “site of the old moot house for the village”. What is meant by this is not clear – could it be a misunderstanding of moat?
