ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



BREEDON ON THE HILL (ix, 15). A square moat with the north-east 

 side projecting beyond the angles formed by the adjacent sides, and a fish- 

 pond to the south-west, lies to the north-west of Breedon Lodge. 



BROUGHTON ASTLEY (xliii, 12). Three sides of a square moat remain 

 on the south-west of the church. The average width is 28 ft., and the 

 depth 4 ft. 



BURBAGE (xlii, 12). In the rectory garden are two sides of a moat 

 ending in a circular curve at the northern extremity ; the latter part is most 

 pronounced, being 30 ft. wide and 14 ft. deep. 



CARLTON CURLIEU (xxxviii, 15). To the south-east of the church 

 and close by the roadside a moat 28 ft. wide surrounds a square area. 



CLAYBROOKE PARVA (xlviii, 6). In the vicarage garden the greater 

 part of three sides of a square moat remain ; it is 1 8 ft. wide and 6 ft. deep. 



CROXTON KERRIAL (xiii, 4). A small circular dry moat is at the west 

 of the site of the abbey. 



DADLINGTON (xxxv, 10). Remains of a moat lie on the west side of the 

 village near the railway. 



DADLINGTON (xxxv, 11). On the east side of the road approaching the 

 village from Hinckley was a shallow moat, now being obliterated. 



DESFORD (xxx, 9 and 10). Nearly a mile north-west of the village is a 

 quadrangular moat fed by a small tributary of the Rothley Brook. To the 

 east of this is a dry boundary ditch. 



DISHLEY AND THORPE ACRE (xvii, 3). Two miles from Loughborough 

 and north-east of Dishley Grange is a long stretch of moat 3 2 ft. wide and 

 4ft. deep ; which is, however, so trampled by cattle that it has lost its 

 regularity. 



DISHLEY AND THORPE ACRE (xvii, 7). Holy well Hall, north of Bur- 

 leigh Wood, is surrounded by a moat 26 ft. wide and 8 ft. deep, which 

 was formerly supplied with water from Burleigh Brook, but it has recently 

 been drained. 



EVINGTON (xxxi, i 6). A large quadrangular moat is situated at Spinney 

 Hill Farm. A stream flows close to the south-east side, by which the moat 

 could be flooded. 



FREEBY (xx, 7). North of the churchyard, the manor-house site, 

 which is bisected by a bank 12 ft. wide and 4ft. high, is almost surrounded 

 on three sides by a moat. The south-west, the most perfect side, is 1 3 ft. 

 deep ; the north-west has been filled in ; the north-east has lost its original 

 outline, and the south-east is obliterated as it nears the southern angle. 



GALBY OR GAULBY (xxxviii, 7). In a field south of the church is a 

 small irregular moat.

 moat lies between Rothley Brook and a mill-stream.

 west of the present manor house, close to the River Sence. 



GLOOSTON (xlvi, i). Adjacent to the north side of the ancient 'Gartree 

 Road ' is an irregular moat about 1 8 ft. wide, surrounding a long rectangular 

 site.
