TF 031 359. Haceby moated site. Scheduled no. LI/240. (4)
A Medieval and/or Post Medieval moat and associated features referred
to by the previous authorities were seen as earthworks and mapped
from poor quality air photographs. The moat is a rectilinear
enclosure, with internal dimensions of 50m by 30m. It is defined by
a substantial ditch and is centred at TF 0314 3598. The inlets
referred to by authority two were visible. North of the moat are the
fragmentary remains of three bank defined, rectilinear, conjoined
enclosures. These measure on average 80m by 45m and are centred at
TF 0314 3609. Adjacent to these are three terraces measuring on
average 40m by 10m and centred at TF 0308 3604. The photography was
too poor to see if these were garden terraces associated with a Post
Medieval use of the site or if they had some other function and
date. (Morph No. LI.840.1.1-3)
