Full description
Moated site and earthworks south of Hall Farm.
Moat, rectangular, recently damaged on south side by dyking. Few medieval sherds recovered. Earthworks to north including street.
A. Rogerson (NLA).
This site was later scheduled on NAU recommendation. Earthworks to the east of field boundary are much fainter on aerial photographs, and are not scheduled. Overlay indicates that some of the earthwork pattern is outside the scheduled area.
