October 1979. Viewed from road.
Dry ponds retained the shape shown on Ordnance Survey map (S3), and area of cropmark has large undulations, which seem to confirm identification as moat.
For further details see note [1].

Field under head high crop of beans, access to 'pond' area impossible. Member of the public [2] said ponds are wet, and that earthworks are no longer visible in field when ploughed.
