The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a ridge 70m SW of a moated (WM008-088---) are the grass covered wall footings of a possible rectangular house site, visible as low earthen banks (approx. dims. 11m N-S x 5.5m E-W). Cultivations ridges running NW-SE appear to overlie the rectangular house site. There are traces of a field system consisting of small rectangular enclosures 30m E of site. The moated site, the building and the field system all appear to be related and may represent a clustered settlement (WM008-113----) of possible medieval date.
