Site of a moat. Described by Jervise and the Ordnance Name Book as a moated enclosure adjoining Chapel cottage. The south side and angles, although defaced, of the rectangle could easily be traced in the 19th century, despite 'Hundreds of cartloads of stones' having been removed from it. Jervise has possibly confused this site with NO55NE0012 as he notes the Archdeacon's Barns as 'a curiously moated place with ditches and walls on West Drums farm'. Christison (circa 1900) noted that the 'moat' referred to on the OS map must have disappeared as he could see nothing 'but a cottage and garden beside a square enclosure, fenced by a low mound, on the top of which was a ruined wall'. When revisited by the OS in 1958, a bank 1.5 m high and topped by the overgrown remains of a stone wall was all that exists on the north and part of the east sides of this site. The bank is almost certainly modern. No trace of a ditch now exists in the surrounding cultivated field.
