[Marginal] A large enclosure at the east end of Ulgham appears to have been moated. No trace of any house, which may have occupied the interior, remains. (1)

The earthworks to the south-east of the church are old trenches dug some time before the First World War, and never filled in. I have never heard of any moated site in Ulgham. (2)

[Centred NZ 23559240] The information in T2 is probably correct in that these earthworks are probably old trenches.
The area contains a series of shallow grass covered ditches forming no particular pattern, and there is no trace of any enclosure. (3)

Agreed. Nothing on aerial photographs (RAF 1946). (4)

Rectangular enclosure at NZ 234923 (same site as above?). Measures c.70m x 40m, bounded by a broad ditch. It is visible amongst ridge and furrow in the south-west corner of Camp or Front Field on the east side of the village and to the south of Manor House. The interior is disturbed. On the east it is bounded by an old hollow road running north-south across the field. Doubtful if of any antiquity. (5)

The field to the east of Ulgham Manor House is known as 'Dove Cot Close' on the 1843 Tithe Plan and the name also occurs in earlier documents. The humps and bumps in the close were surveyed by archaeologists from Newcastle University in 1982 after it was proposed to erect housing on the site. A more thorough survey was carried out in 1984. Their conclusion was that the earthworks could represent the eastern boundary of a manorial enclosure of medieval date and that there could be buildings underneath the soil. Planning permission to build was refused. (6)
