Earthwork remains of a Medieval moated site; it consists of a sub-rectangular island surrounded by a dry moat that is flanked on all sides by an outer bank. (6)
The moat earthworks are visible on air photographs. Recent photography taken in July 2000 shows the southern arm of the moat is less well defined than the other three sides. There are associated water channels at the corners of the moat ditch, except the south-west one. There is post medieval narrow ridge and furrow (recorded in NY 23 NE 42) on the interior moat platform, surviving as earthworks on recent photography. Other ridge and furrow to the east of the moat is no longer extant.
