A HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE 17. At MAPPERLEY PARK WOOD (xlv. 16), in Kirk Hallam parish, are some small remains of a square moat that formerly surrounded a vanished homestead. 1 8. In MOAT WOOD (Iviii. 10), MELBOURNE PARKS, there is a small water-filled moat, with- in which was the site of the lodge pertaining to the park attached to Melbourne Castle. 19. At ASHBOURNE FARM, SHIREBROOK (xxvi. 1 6), are the faint traces of a small moat, apparently of the home- stead character. 20. SHIRLEY HALL (xliii. 15) was sur- rounded by a small square moat ; three sides of it, which are water- filled, still remain. 21. The site of the original hall at SNIT- TERTON (xxix. 14) is still clearly defined by a rectangular moat, now drained, one side of which has been filled in to make the road from Matlock. This must not be confused with the dyke immedi- ately behind the present Elizabethan hall. The outer measurement of this moat is about 200 feet square. 1 22.
