Description:  Moated site and fishponds located to the north of the hamlet of Snitterton. The moat measures approximately 10 metres in width and 1.5 metres in depth. The eastern arm has been infilled, possibly in 1759. The central platform measures approximately 50 metres by 50 metres, and retains evidence of features in the form of low banks up to 0.5 metres in height. Two sunken compartments, interpreted as fishponds, extend from the western arm of the moat. These are currently approximately 35m long, between 10-16 metres wide and up to 0.75 metres deep. The site is identified as the location of a house or group of houses, with associated demesne land, held by Jordan de Snitterton in the late 13th century. Scheduled.
