Report by G Turner on the completion of restoration work on the moat. Geophysical survey indicates structures on the western half of the island, probably the remains of the hall and ancillary structures, such as the kitchen; farm buildings, such as barns and granaries, were probably sited outside the island. Finds suggest the moat was occupied in the early 14th century. Documentary evidence suggests the site is that of the manor of Ashurst, which perhaps later declined to become the keeper’s lodge of Ashurst Park. (297; see report in SyAC 87, 127-145)
