These lie mainly within but partly adjacent to a large moated enclosure on low lying land in a loop of the River Axe. The only upstanding building of the period, in the area of the scheduling, is now a farmhouse, which is Listed Grade II*. The site was the subject of a survey by the Wookey Local History Group in 1992-3. The palace stood in the northern part of its grounds, where the farmhouse stands today
