Full Description
Moat (according to Ordnance Survey).
Ordnance Survey card (S1) says not a moat - only an ornamental duckpond.
Compiled by E. Rose (NAU).
November 2025. HER Enhancement: Forestry Commission Project K.
The above features are visible as earthwork ponds on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2022. (S3). As the survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the features still survive. It is possible that the features may relate to sections of a former moat recorded on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6" map (S3) or possible ornamental ponds likley associated with Thwaite Hall (NHER 10460) to the east
