ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



Stowlangtoft (xxxiv, 15). — Seven miles east 

 by north from Bury St. Edmunds, immediately 

 to the north of St. George's Churchyard, a small 

 area is inclosed by a moat, the latter averages 

 10 ft. wide except on the west, where it attains 

 a breadth of 30 ft. 



Another moat of quadrangular plan is to the 

 south-east of the church. 



Stowupland (Ivi, 4). — Columbine Hall, north- 

 east of Thorney Green, if miles north-east 

 from Stowmarket, has a large moat of diamond- 

 shaped plan, with two adjacent ponds. 



Stradbroke (xxvi, 14). — At ' The Rookery,' 

 Battersea Green, 4^ miles east by north from 

 Eye, is a straight and wide trench, 900 ft. long, 

 in the southern end of which is an islet ; from 

 this branch various arms of water towards the 

 east, and other fragments are on the west, the 

 whole area appears to have formerly had a num- 

 ber of moated inclosures. 



To the east of the latter, at Hill Farm, there 

 is one square moat and a portion of another 

 adjoining. 



Stradbroke (xxvi, 16). — At Red House, 

 south of Ebden's Corner, 7^ miles east by north 

 from Eye, is one side and an angle of a 

 rectangular moat. 



Stradbroke (xxxvii, 2). — At Stradbroke 

 Hall, 5 miles east from Eye, is a large oblong 

 moat, nearly perfect, with an arm of the moat 

 penetrating the interior area from the north. 



Stradbroke (xxxvii, 3). — South of the church 

 is the southern portion of a quadrangular moat. 



Fragments of another of curious and numerous 

 branches lie at Boyton Trust Farm, south-east 

 of the village. 



Stradbroke (xxxvii, 4). — A small but strong 

 quadrangular moat is at Whitbread'sTarm, north- 

 east of Ashfield Green.

 ley Green, 6^ miles north-east from Haverhill, is 

 a four-sided moat with two of its corners 

 rounded. 



Stuston (xxv, 7). — Around the site of the 

 Old Hall, 2^ miles north by west from Eye, are 

 the remains of a broad moat ; and to the south, 

 severed by a road, are the fragments of a double 

 oblong moat. 



Sudbury (Ixxii, 11). — One mile north from 

 Sudbury, at Wood Hall, is the greater part of an 

 oblong moat.

 of the old hall, Tannington Green, 7^ miles 

 south-east from Eye, are the opposite sides and 

 two angles of an oblong moat. Outside the 

 south-western angle the moat turns at right 

 angles inclosing a small square island. 



North of the last is another oblong moat 

 inclosing * The Hoplands.'

Tannington (xlviii, 3). — At 'The Chest- 

 nuts,' north-east of the village, is the nortkern 

 portion of a small moat. 



To the east of Tannington, at Tannington 

 Lodge, is a heavy oblong moat with a long 

 channel extending in a southerly direction. 



Tattingstone (Ixxxii, 10). — In Tattingstone 

 Park, 4^ miles south-south-west from Ipswich, 

 is an irregular quadrangular moat. 



Thorndon (xxxvi, 15). — Fragments of two 

 irregular moats are at Hill House, east of the 

 village, 3 miles south from Eye. 



Three sides of an oblong moat are near 

 Thorndon Rectory. 



At Hestley Hall, south of Thorndon, are 

 three moated areas. One has three sides of a 

 broad square moat ; and the other two appear to 

 have been inclosed in one extended oblong cinc- 

 ture divided in the middle by a water trench. 

 To the east of these a small island — called ' The 

 Mount,' and containing a central pond — is sur- 

 rounded by a moat. 



A mile eastward from the last are the remains 

 of a double moat, close to Rishangles Lodge. 

 The inner one, square and of considerable width, 

 is closely surrounded on three sides by another 

 and narrower moat which at its northern and 

 southern extremities turns outwards at right 

 angles. 



Three parts of a square moat in the same 

 parish remain at Rishangles Lodge. 



Thorndon (xlvii, 3). — At Lampits, west of 

 Hestley Green, a large tract of land is moated in 

 an intricate manner. An irregular circular moat 

 has portions of other numerous inclosures to- 

 wards the south and the west ; they are very 

 disconnected, but appear to have provided pro- 

 tection to at least four areas. 



South-east of the last are three parts of a 

 small square moat, to the south of which arc 

 portions of another inclosure approaching an 

 oblong form, greatly mutilated and spread into 

 irregular ponds.

 extending over the border into the parish of 

 Rishangles, is but a fragment consisting of one 

 side and one angle of a rectangular moat.
