Kellam's Farm moated site
Kellam's Farm moated site submitted by Runemage : Image credit Dave Metcalfe The circular shape seen here belies the depth of the moat. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Moated site in Leicestershire and Rutland. The circular ditched enclosure east of Kellam's farm is conventionally regarded as medieval but it is of the same type as Belton Castle and could be Iron Age in date.

A circular earthwork called Castle Hill has wide ditches but no trace of a bank. The site is under grass and no dating evidence is known but the conventional medieval date looks unconvincing. As this is within the area of Bardon Park and therefore not consistently ploughed in the medieval period, the preservation of prehistoric earthwork seems possible. Also there is a conventional medieval moat close by at Bardon Old Hall.
