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. 612
