Embleton Moat

  • Description

    Some six or seven hundred yards SW of Embleton Vicarage are the remains of a moat. The west side of 126 feet, and short return lengths at each end remaining. There is a rampart external to the ditch (Curwen, 1913). Ploughing has reduced the remainder to a mere ground swelling only. ....Called 'Moated earthworks of manor house' in Perriam & Robinson. Little now obvious on air photo. A relatively rare moated site in Cumberland, within a National Park, destroyed within the last hundred years....
