Possible site of moated manor house and fishponds. The site is now occupied by a 19th century farmhouse and there are no traces of the earlier building. Two arms of the moat survive, along with four fishponds to the south and the remains of a possible outer moat. (PastScape)

Gatehouse Comments

One of 3 moated sites in area one of which may mark the site of building licensed 1303 to Ralph Friskney Although the site at Friskney Hall is generally considered to be the most likely site. This is marked 'site of Manor House' on 1894 OS map, where it is shown as a small square moat surrounded by earthworks which look like fishponds.
