This is very shallow and narrow, almost dry and filled with rubbish where not overgrown.

Rectangular. Really a moat or just drainage?

September 2000. Visit.
Moat west to east and south east, varying in width 2-3m. Overgrown nature of site makes correct measurements difficult. Much dead wood and farm and domestic rubbish in moat. Area infilled behind house with pipe exiting into moat.
