Kings Langley Hunting Lodge

In the civil parish of Kings Langley. In the historic county of Hertfordshire (Modern Authority of Hertfordshire, 1974 county of Hertfordshire).

Possibly the remains of a moated site referred to in 1308 as a lodge in the Royal Park of King's Langley. There is a large depression on the moat platform, possibly the result of clay digging. Slight traces of ridge and furrow are also visible in the field. Enclosures visible to the north of the moat as low earthworks. The site shows very clearly on the 1947 AP as a rectangular island of approximately 5000 sq. m. To the eastern end of the island is a square feature of approximately 1000 sq. m with a circular feature of around 20m in diameter at its centre. (Herts HER)
