 it are portions of the northern and eastern sides 

 of a large water-girt area. 



Eye (xxxvi, 4). — An irregular oblong moat is 

 at Low Farm, south-west of Denham Hall,

 eastern corner being somewhat curved. 



At the Grange, south-west of the village, is a 

 very perfect moat. 



Capel Farm, ij miles south-west from Fel- 

 sham, has a double moat, each of them oblong in 

 plan, one of the short sides being common to 

 both moats. The stronger and more perfect is 

 towards the north-east.

 straight, and 50 ft. wide, but the sides branch- 

 ing northwards converge until they meet at a 

 rounded angle on the north ; a curved channel 

 passes from the west to the north-east within the 

 area, thus separating the inclosure into two 

 unequal parts. 



Around the site of a house of Austin Nuns, 

 now known as Abbey Farm, south-east of Flixton, 

 is the greater part of a moat. The height of the 

 banks above the water averages 4 ft. 6 in. high, 

 and the moat is from 16 ft. to 22 ft. broad. A 

 fish-pond is within the southern side of the 

 inclosure.

 of the south-western end also remains.

 sides remain of an oblong moat. 



Fressingfield (xxvi, 12). — At the Hall,

 numerous fragments of moats ; but the plan of 

 the lands which they formerly surrounded is past 

 recognition.

 at Desning Hall, is a fairly perfect moat, and to 

 the west of it is another very broad water-filled 

 trench which may have formed one side of a 

 similar inclosure. 



Gedding (Iv, 7). — The walls of Gedding Hall, 

 the old mansion of the Buckenhams, 7 miles 

 south-east from Bury St. Edmunds, rise out of 

 the broad moat with which it was once cinctured ; 

 portions, however, are now filled up. 



Gedding (Iv, 7). — The greater part ofa moat 

 may be traced around Gedding Church ; on the 

 north-west it has an escarpment of 9 ft. and is
