Description
Confused ruins of a presumed medieval manor house, set above a marsh to the E, consisting of two loose ranges of buildings, on the E and NW of a central court, c.40m N-S by 30m, which is mostly taken up by quarry pits. There is a further, apparently detached, structure on the SW, whilst c.40m to the N are the possible remains of a dovecote (Nprn41553).
