Location : East Sussex Rother Etchingham
Grid Ref : TQ7140026300
Summary : Drainage ditches on the west side of Etchingham Station. These may be the remains of a decorative water feature shown around a house on a map of c.1850.
More information : [TQ 714 263] A small castle or fortified manor-house stood on the site of the Railway Station at Etchingham. (1) There is no trace of a castle or fortified manor house in the area of Etchingham railway station. A map dated c1850 (see attached tracing) shows a house surrounded by a water feature, which Leeney may have assumed to have been a defensive moat. Little remains of the water-feature save for drainage ditches on the W side of the station, none of which can be said to resemble a moat. (2)
