Bolebec Castle, Moat and Spring
The OS maps are a little schizophrenic as to which side of the road Bolebec Castle was situated - though probably it spread over both named sites. On the opposite side is Image] which was clearly a castle mound. On this side there is this curious circular wooded enclosure. It contains a small pool which can be glimpsed if you get closer (see Image]), and according to the modern maps there is a spring here. On the 1940s map this is given as an ancient moat however. Whatever its antecedents however it was a quite remarkably atmospheric place, perhaps magnified by the swirling mist on my visit. [Edit] Information from the link below suggests that this pond is known as Weir Pond and is indeed part of the old moat of the castle.
