Ground plan of the moat at Spaldwick
The large grass field south of the Vicarage House is surrounded on the east, south and part of the west sides with a bank 27 ft. wide at its base and 3 ft. high within the enclosure and 4 ft. 6in. high outside. On the north-west and north the bank is very slight on the inside, but the ground outside is considerably lower, especially at the north-west corner. The church possibly stood within the enclosure, but the bank through the churchyard and at the north-east corner has been lost.
Within the enclosure, at the north-west corner, is a roughly circular mound, 55 ft. diameter and about 3 ft. high, with a shallow trench round it.
