A fine example of a moated manorial complex. The earthworks at this site are very strongly constructed and are in a good state of preservation. The site is covered by a thick wood. There are no extant remains of the Hall. The extant features comprise a central moated work (the site of the Hall) from which four irregular ditched enclosures extend to form a substantial well defended site; the main moat measures internally 43.0m north-south by 32.0m east-west and the enclosed area is at the same height as the surrounding general levels. The ditches attain a maximum depth of 4.5m and a maximum width a circa 17.0m. The original entrance would appear to have been at the south west corner. A marshy area at TG 01182895 is probably an original fishpond. No building foundations are evident at any point. There is much seasonal water in the ditches. (PastScape ref.
