Down Barns Moated Site is the 13th century site of a former manor house with a moat. The earliest reference to the manor house was in 1212 when it belonged to Roger de la Lune, the Constable of the Tower of London. It had many owners after him, including Nicholas Brembre who was beheaded for High Treason in 1388 when his manor house was demolished - it was never rebuilt. However, the moat has been preserved. It was probably not used for defence but would have provided a water supply for the house and animals. It may have provided fish for the manor and given protection against fires. Today the owners are All Souls College, Oxford. The site was restored in 1989/90 with grant aid from English Heritage. This shows the northern arm of the moat from outside the site of the manor house.

Heading along a road with signs warning of turning lorries.

The red signs are warning about a contractor's entrance on the left, where a new golf course is being made. At a guess that's where the yellow truck is heading as there are a lot more yellow trucks in there in the mud.
