This disused mid twentieth century tip approximates to an embanked area of marshland shown in clear association to the adjacent 'Moat Hills' on historic OS mapping. Research and archaeological evaluation in 1996 (Davies 1996) indicated that rather than a south eastern moat this area was occupied not by a moat of similar form to the other surviving moats but by three marshy areas demarcated by causeways and shown on historic mapping of the site. Past type recorded as 'residential: elite' as these features probably related to medieval hall. Invisible legibility of former earthworks ?fishponds.
