Moat Micro #8 - Bush Wood
The monument includes the remains of a medieval moat and an associated hollow-way. The moated site measures about 50m. square with the central island surrounded by a ditch some 12m. wide. The ditch is water filled for its entire circuit and there is no evidence of an original entrance causeway. On the north and west sides the ditch has a slight outer bank. The interior may have contained various buildings and features evidenced by uneven ground on the eastern side. A further feature of the site is a linear earthwork made up of two low parallel banks running west from the south west corner of the moat. The earthwork is visible up to the edge of the wood and disappears into the ploughed field beyond. It may once have been linked to the hollow-way which communicates with St Mary's Church 800m. west of the moat. Bush Wood moat is located less than 400m. to the north east of the contemporary Gannock Grove moated enclosure which also has an associated hollow-way.
