waterfilled, with arms approx 8.0m wide. Where dry, the moat is
approx 1.3m deep. There is an exterior bank approx 1.0 high on the
south arm, and traces of an exterior bank on the west arm. The
enclosed area shows disturbed ground under pasture around a modern
barn, and stands at the same height as the surrounding level. The
moat is spring fed draining to a pond at the angle of the south and
west arms.
