Description
The monument includes a medieval moated site located adjacent to Great Wratting parish boundary, north east of the village. The moated site includes a roughly square island measuring up to 40m across. This is enclosed by a partly waterfilled moat, measuring up to 10m wide and 1.5m deep. A house, which was recorded on the island in 1843 as Gannocks Farm, is no longer standing but will survive below ground as a buried feature. A causeway, which crosses the eastern corner of the moat, was also recorded in 1843. A section of the moat's south east arm to the west of the causeway has been infilled but will survive as a buried feature. All fencing around the moated site is excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath it is included.
