"The Island". Unoccupied, rectangular, isolated with additions. Wet. 1960: The moat lies in a wood and as it is full of water and there is no causeway, the central island is difficult to reach, it is slightly raised and round (S1).

Evidence of brick and masonry in S bank of moat, and large scatter of unfrogged brick in field adjacent to this bank (S1). 1985: Site lies on high ground with commanding views of country-side. There is a noticeable wide bank along the E side of the moat (S1). 1989: Estate to clear 80% of trees on island - visit noted low bank, circa 4m wide and 30cm high on NW side outside moat; slight raised area within S portion of moated area (circa 30cm high) & brick or tile fragments on interior - see site report/map (S2).
