The moat, with the stone foundations of the house rising from it, and the bridge over the moat by which it was entered, can still be seen. The site of the house is now a garden and the materials have been used in the construction of a farmhouse on higher ground near by. The area enclosed is revetted by a stone wall with the remains of a wall of Tudor-type brick, laid in a pinkish mortar, on the south-west and north sides.
The area is now a pasture and the site of the buildings can be seen as an area of raised ground with slight banks running along buried walling. The north and south-western arms of the moat have slight retaining banks and to the north are some small fish-ponds. The farmhouse dates from the 19th century. The site includes a raised grass-covered island, circa 60 metres x 40 metres revetted by a fine sandstone ashlar wall 2.
Adjacent to the north arm are two dry fishponds, the larger originally fed by a channel connecting with a stream to the north and possessing a short outlet channel entering the moat at its north-east corner. The moat is further fed by two streams entering its west arm; the southernmost of these brought water from a series of five fishponds some metres to the west of the moat by a complex of connecting channels, while the northernmost stream collected water from a pond flanked by a substantial bank circa 80m north-west of the moat.
Possibly built in the late 13th century, remodelled in the 16th century and demolished in the 19th century. The moat was mapped as part of the Staffordshire National Mapping Programme project.
The moat is extant on the latest vertical photography; the remainder of the features described by the above authorities are obscured by tree cover on the available photography. If you have any comments or new information about this record, please email us.
