Full Description

TR 03382548) Moat (NR) (TR 03492550) An undescribed enclosure (1) Two oval enclosures (as above) on the air photograph (Fig. 77A) mark the probable site of two moated manor houses. (2) Two, almost contiguous, sub-circular enclosures situated on the general level of the Romney Marsh. The westernmost, at TR 03372548, has a water-filled ditch with a slight inner-bank and a probably original entrance causeway on the SW side. The interior is strewn with broken tiles and a little stone rubble. The westernmost site, the dry moat at TR 034254 revealed wall foundation and medieval debris during an investigation of plough-damage and trial excavations. (3)
