A medieval to post medieval moat is visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2022. As the survey was relatively recently, it is likely that the feature still survive as an earthwork. The moated site is centred at TM 2758 8443 with further possible associated earthwork banks and ditches to the north, centred at approximately TM 2759 8448. The function of the site is uncertain and may have been associated with a medieval manor.
