Full Description
The Ordnance Survey have recorded a moated site in this location, although this is likely to be incorrect. The feature was not thought to be suitable for a building, and likely represents the silted up remains of a former fishpond. A string of former ponds, associated with Scrivelsby Court, are indicated by amorphous slopes along the southern side of the stream. A survey of the earthworks was conducted by Christopher Taylor and Paul Everson in 1978, on behalf of the RCHME. {1}{2}{3}
The monument is located 350m north of Scrivelsby Court, on the southern bank of Scrivelsby Beck, and includes earthworks representing a sub-rectangular pond defined by an external bank measuring approximately 20m by 10m. These features are considered to represent the remains of a fishpond of a type utilized in the medieval and post-medieval period. {4}
