There's very little left of the moat, apart from this slightly depressed area of grass (where the two girls are walking) but it represents the remains of a moated medieval farm settlement, which also had a fishpond just outside the moat. A later (19th Century) farm building just to the south was demolished in the 1950s, at roughly the time that the Ashmore Park estate was being built.
