Full Description
February 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The earthworks of a post medieval moat are visible on visualised lidar data (S1). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that moat still survives. The moat is associated with the post medieval rectory (NHER 7272) now called Moat House. Although the moat is most likely post medieval in date, an earlier, medieval origin for the feature cannot be ruled out. The moat is also recorded on the readily available historic maps (S2-S3)
