Ruins of a moated house in Kimberley Park. It was quadrangular in plan with flanking turrets, a tower and chapel, constructed circa 1400 and demolished before 1659. Field investigations in 1973 found the house surviving as a ruin, the walls to a height of 1 metre, situated within the earthworks of a moat. To the south was a hollow way which extended north to east through an area of minor desertion, into a complex of fishponds. The house stood at the southern end of the moated island. The northern section of the island would have contained either a garden or a second courtyard with outbuildings. (PastScape)
