Moat Micro #7 - Gannock Grove
The monument includes the well preserved remains of a medieval moated enclosure and its associated ponds and adjacent hollow-way. The moat is partially water filled and has external dimensions of circa 90m north south by 70m east west. A break in the north west corner of the interior bank may be the location of the original entrance. Inside the enclosure are a number of shallow earthworks likely to be the remains of contemporary medieval buildings and associated features. A number of ponds may also be part of the original complex or perhaps later additions to the monument. Adjacent to the moat on the west side is a length of hollow-way surviving as a distinct linear bank and ditch which is considered to be directly associated with the medieval moat. The Gannock Grove moat is one of a pair of moats with the other example being in Bush Wood which is located less than 400m to the north east. The modern trackway is excluded from the scheduling dividing the monument into two separate areas.
