A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK 



Benedictine priory at Norwich Cathedral. The 

 eastern and the greater part of the northern sides 

 of this moat remain. Another length branches 

 from the north, where also is a broad moat sur- 

 rounding a very small islet. 



HoxNE (xxxvii, 2). — At Thorpe Hall, i mile 

 west from Stradbroke, is a perfect quadrangular 

 moat. 



HuNDON (Ixii, 14). — Pinhoe Hall, south of 

 the village, and nearly 3 miles north-west from 

 Clare, has an elongated oblong moat. 



HuNSTON (xxxiv, 16). — South-west of the 

 village, yi miles north-east by east from Bury 

 St. Edmunds, the site of Hunston Hall appears 

 to have been surrounded by a moat which is, 

 however, so mutilated that its plan cannot be 

 traced. One angle of another moat, originally 

 iiiclosing a large area of ground, remains ; this is 

 12 ft. wide, with banks 5|^ft. deep. 



Ilketshall St. Andrew (xviii, 5). — At 

 Grove Farm, nearly 4 miles south-east from 

 Bungay, and south of the village, are three sides 

 of a small square moat. 



About f of a mile north-east from the last, a 

 nearly complete, but small square moat, is at 

 Corner Farm. 



Ilketshall St. Margaret (xvii, 12). — South- 

 east of the village, 3 miles south by cast from 

 Bungay, at Brookhouse Farm is an oblong moat. 



Ilketshall St. Margaret (xvii, 16). — The 

 greater part of a small moat of parallelogram plan 

 lies 2 miles south-east from the village. 



Ilketshall St. Margaret (xvii, 16). — At 

 Rookery Farm, north-west of Rumburgh Street 

 village, 4^ miles south from Bungay, are portions 

 of a moat of parallelogram plan. 



Ilketshall St. Margaret (xviii, 9). — South- 

 east of St. Lawrence Green, and south-west of 

 Back's Green, are the fragments of a moat. 



IxwoRTH (xxxiv, 6). — Disconnected lengths 

 of a moat remain about the ruins of a priory of 

 Austin Canons at Ixworth, 6 miles north-east 

 from Bury St. Edmunds. 



Ixworth Thorpe (xxxiv, i). — Six miles 

 north-enst from Bury is an irregular oblong moat. 



Kedington (Ixi, 16). — At Kedington Hall, 

 2 miles north-east from Haverhill, the position 

 of the moat may be traced. 



Kelsale (1, 9). — Two sides of an oblong 

 moat are at Church Farm, north of the church, 

 i^ miles north from Saxmundham. 



Kenton (xlvii, 8). — At Moat Farm, west of 

 the village, 5^ miles south-east from Eye, a cir- 

 cular moat surrounds the house, and another 

 one — approaching an oblong in plan — incloses 

 the first and a larger area of land. 



Kenton (xlviii, 5). — Suddon Hall, south-east 

 of the village, has two sides of a square moat. 



At Kenton Hall, i^ miles north-east from 

 Debenham, is a series of moated areas. Two, 

 small and nearly square, are side by side, and 

 these stand within a wide embracing moat, of 



which the south-western side includes that side of 

 one of the smaller inclosures. 



One side of a moat, with its two angles, may 

 be traced at Kenton Vicarage. 



Kettlebaston (Ixiv, 11). — An almost com- 

 plete moat is at Kettlebaston Hall, 8 miles north- 

 east from Sudbury ; its width greatly varies, and 

 the north-western side is extended at both ends. 



Kettleburgh (Iviii, 4). — A perfect oblong 

 moat (nearly square) is at the site of Kettleburgh 

 Hall, 3^ miles north-west from Wickham Market. 



Langham (xxxiv, 12). — In Duffles plantation, 

 to the east of the church, 8^ miles east by north 

 from Bury St. Edmunds, is the so-called site of 

 a camp. No signs of a military work now 

 remain, neither are there any signs of earthworks 

 in an adjoining field, called 'Castle Ditches'; 

 but that the first site was used for manorial 

 defence is evident by the presence of a moat ; 

 this, however, is very unequal in strength. To- 

 wards the south is a water ditch 8 ft. wide, but 

 the other sides around an oblong area are far 

 broader, the east attaining 24 ft. 



Lavenham (Ixiv, 9). — The site of the manor- 

 house moat may be traced in a field north-west 

 of the village, 6 miles north-east from Sudbury. 



Lawshall (liv, 10). — At Rowney Farm, south 

 of Butler's Hall, 5^^ miles south from Bury St. 

 Edmunds, are the remains of a large moat, but 

 greatly mutilated. 



Lawshall (liv, 1 5). — South-west of the rec- 

 tory is a perfect square moat ; the southern side 

 extends eastwards, and turns at right angles 

 towards the north, apparently part of a more 

 extensive moat. 



Two sides of a small square moat arc at 

 Cooper's Farm, south-east of the last. 



Barford's Farm, north of Hart's Green, nearly 

 a mile north-east from Lawshall, has an oblong 

 moat, and traces of another are towards the south. 



Lawshaix (Ixiii, 3). — The greater part of a 

 small square moat is at Newhouse Farm, north 

 of Shimpling Street village, 7^ miles south from 

 Bury St. Edmunds. 



Lawshall (Ixiii, 4). — Irregular fragments of 

 a moat are at Trees Farm, Lawshall Green. 



Laxfield (xxxvii, 4). — A moat, almost trian- 

 gular in plan, is situated east of Ashfield Green, 

 6^ miles south-south-east from Harleston. 



Laxfield (xxxvii, 8). — Three sides of a 

 rectangular moat are at Wells Corner, 8 miles 

 south-east by east from Eye. 



Another small moat, north-west of the last, is at 

 Hall's Farm. 



Laxfield (xxxviii, 5). — An angular fragment 

 of a moat is at Laurel Farm — until recently 

 called Moat Farm — north-east of the village. 



Another may be traced at Yewtree Farm, 

 ^ a mile north-east from Laxfield. 



Laxfield (xxxviii, 10). — At Boats Hall, west 

 of Ubbeston White House, 6^ miles south-west 

 from Halesworth, is a nearly square moat.
