Situated on level ground at TG 4029 0669 are the well preserved remains of a homestead moat. The north, east and part of the west are waterfilled measuring 14.0 to 18.0m wide and at least 1.0m deep in places; while part of the south side can be traced in the garden of Manor Hall Farm as a slight hollow about 9.0m wide and 0.5m deep.
The island is featureless.

A water-filled moat of medieval date is visible on aerial photographs (S2). Three sides of the moat are visible with internal dimensions of at least 43m by 36m. It is partly obscured by trees on the available aerial photographs.

The medieval moat described above is clearly visible as a substantial extant earthwork on visualised lidar data (S3). Other, more enigmatic earthworks are visible in the surrounding area. These have not been recorded as their archaeological significance is uncertain.
