ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



3 miles south-east from Bury St. Edmunds, has 

 extensive water-trenches which are now widely 

 disconnected. The largest remaining portion 

 somewhat resembles the letter S 'n plan, the 

 more northerly part is the most perfect cincture ; 

 but from the southern curve it takes a straight 

 north-westerly direction, growing narrower as it 

 proceeds. Two other lengths, at right angles 

 but with the angle levelled, lie to the north. 



Great Wratting (Ixi, la). — At Ganwick 

 Farm, north-east of the village, 2 miles north- 

 east by north from Haverhill, is a small quadran- 

 gular moat of greatly varied width. 



Groton (bcxiii, ii). — At Moat Farm, Parlia- 

 ment Heath, 5^ miles east by north from Sud- 

 bury, are traces of three sides of a quadrangular 

 moat. 



Hacheston (lix, 13). — At Glevering Hall, 

 half a mile north from Wickham Market, is 

 the greater part of a broad moat. 



Hargrave (liii, 3). — At Moat Farm, Har- 

 grave Green, 6 miles south-west from Bury St. 

 Edmunds, are the disconnected fragments of a 

 moat. 



Hasketon (Ixvii, 15). — The manor house, 

 south-east of the village, I mile north-west from 

 Woodbridge, has a wide moat surrounding a very 

 small area. 



Another moat of square plan is at the rectory. 



Haughley (xlvi, 10). — A quadrangular moat, 

 partially subdivided by a branch from the southern 

 trench penetrating the inner area, is at Newbell's 

 Farm, 3^ miles north-west from Stowmarket. 



A portion of another rectangular plan is at 

 Wassick's Farm, to the east of the latter. 



Haverhill (Ixx, 7). — At Haverhill Hall, 

 south of the village, is a square moat, of which 

 the eastern side has but a small part remaining. 

 The southern side has spread far beyond its 

 original bounds. 



Hawkedon (Ixii, 8). — Thurston Hall, 9 miles 

 south-south-west from Bury St. Edmunds, has the 

 south-eastern side of a large moat. 



Hawstead (liv, 2). — At Hawstead Lodge, 

 north-east of Hawstead Place, 2 J miles south 

 from Bury St. Edmunds, is a narrow moat, widen- 

 ing into a pond at the south-western angle. 



Hengrave (xxxiii, 10). — At Hengrave Hall, 

 3 miles north-west from Bury St. Edmunds, is 

 the south-eastern portion of a large and wide 

 oval moat. 



Henham (xxviii, 8). — In Moatyard Covert, 

 north of Henham Park, 4 miles east by north 

 from Halesworth, is an oval moat of great width 

 close to the southern bank of a stream. From 

 its western side it branches out for 200 ft., then 

 turns in a northerly direction until it joins the 

 stream. On the south-west of the oval moat is 

 another length of wide entrenchment, also sup- 

 ported by the stream on the north-east. It is 

 possible that this was an early entrenched position 

 afterwards adapted to manorial moats.

 5 miles north-west frorri Lowestoft, certain water 

 trenches all but surround a small oblong area. 



Hessett(x1v, 14). — At Spring Farm, 3^ miles 

 south-east from Bury St. Edmunds, is an oblong 

 moat. 



In a field north of the latter is a wide oblong 

 moat, not a far departure from a square plan. 



The moat at Hessett Hall is a well-formed 

 square plan. The entrance to the old hall is on 

 the south. 



Heveningham (xxxviii, 1 1). — At Moat Farm, 

 south of the village, and 5 miles south-west from 

 Halesworth, is a well-defined oblong moat ; traces 

 of a subdivision are seen within the north-east 

 part, and ponds are situated on the north-west.

 are extant.

 Place, 3 J miles south-west from Framlingham,

 side has been filled, and an extension branches 

 to the north. 



HoRHAM (xxxvii, 5). — Circular towards the 

 north, and angular towards the south, a curiously- 

 planned moat lies south-west of the village, 4 

 miles south-east by east from Eye. 



HoRHAM (xxxvii, 6). — East of St. Mary's 

 Church are extensive remains of an elongated 

 moat. The southern portion is destroyed.

 small moat is at Chickering Corner Farm, south-

 another defending the western side. 



A mile south of Hoxne, at Cross Street, a 

 moat surrounded a religious house, a cell to the
