Description

The monument includes a medieval moated site 210m south west of Erratts Farm. The moated site includes a roughly square island measuring an average of 24m across. This is enclosed by a partially waterfilled moat, measuring up to 12m wide and at least 2m in depth. The remains of inlet and outlet channels extend from the southern corner and the south west and north east arms of the moat and are linked to drainage ditches. An outer bank, approximately 6m wide by 1m high and thought to be constructed from material dug from the moat, is visible along the north eastern arm. The causeway across the south western arm of the moat was in use in 1846. The moated site is marked on the 1846 Tithe map as `Moat Plantation'. The fence along the north east side of the moated site is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath is included.
