Monument record SBK 005 - Boyton Trust Farm

Moat, One long side and fragments of five spurs, probably making a series of rectangular enclosures.
2013: Monitoring of ground works for a side extension revealed a large disturbance which an examination of historic map sources indicates is another arm of the moat/fish pond complex at this site which was filled-in during the mid 19th century. To the front of the house a service trench also revealed a substantial brick built culvert of 19th century date and in the context of this dating it is of interest to note that the historic map sources show a major re-planning of the farm complex between the tithe map period of the late 1830s and the first edition large scale OS map cover of 1880. In addition examination of the upcast spoil from the extension ground works recovered a small number of pottery sherds indicative of activity at the site from the 11th/12th century period through to the present (S1).
