 A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK miles east-north-east from Needham Market, was taken down in 1829, but the site is still partially surrounded by portions of the rectangular moat. Another oblong moat is in CrowfielJ Park, to the north of the last named, and close to All Saints' Church. CuLPHO (Ixvii, 13). — A quadrangular moat marks the site of the Abbey Farm, 4^ miles west from Woodbridge. Dallinghoo (Ixvii, 4). — Moat Farm, | of a mile south-east from the village, 3 miles north from Woodbridge, is a quadrangular moat with the entrance on the west. Darsham (xxxix, 14). — North-east of Dar- sham station, 4^ miles north by east from Sax- mundham, is the greater part of a small rect- angular moat. Debenham (xlvii, 1 1). — At Ulverston Hall, to the west of Debenham, 12 miles north-west from Woodbridge, are three portions of a quad- rangular moat. Debenham (xlvii, 1 5). — One mile west from Debenham the western side of ' Esther's Moat ' is extant. Debenham (xlvii, 12). — Two opposite frag- ments remain of a moat at Blood Hall, north- east of the town. Close by the latter, at Hill Farm, is part of a moat and an artificial cutting containing water, which probably formed part of a defensive work. Debenham (xlviii, 13). — One mile east of Debenham is a series of artificial works around Crowe's Hall, a name derived from the family who obtained possession in 1300. The walls of the Hall rise from the waters of a strong square moat attaining a breadth of 90 ft. at its widest part. The entrance is on the west, before which is a fragment of another moat which has been destroyed too far to trace its original plan. At the north-east of the first are three sides of a narrow moat, and indications of another may be seen to the north of the first. Denham (xxxvi, 4). — Two miles east by south from Eye, at Denham Hall, is an oblong moat of considerable width, a narrow channel connecting it with another of small dimensions on the south. Denham (xliii, 11). — At Denham Hall, in another parish of the same name as the last, 7^ miles west by south from Bury St. Edmunds, is a large oblong moat, from the south-western angle of which extends a pond. Dennington (xxxvii, 12). — Red House, 5 miles north from Framlingham, has the greater part of a narrow moat, square in plan, surround- ing a large area. Towards the south of the eastern side cuttings from the moat project both externally and internally. The latter, which apparently inclosed a small area in former times, is probably of an earlier date than the present moat. Dennington (xxxvii, 16). — A moat with adjacent fish-pond at Moat Farm lies to the east of Brandish village. Dennington (xxxviii, 13). — Around the site of Dennington Hall is a perfect square moat, with a pond projecting on the south side. Dennington (xlviii, 3). — At Moat House, south-east of Tannington, 3 miles north-west from Framlingham, are the remains of a rect- angular moat. Dennington (xlviii, 4). — At Pound Farm, J of a mile north-west from the village, is a small square moat with an extension from the north- west corner. At Red House, ^ a mile west from Denning- ton, are two sides of a small moat. Immediately to the west of the latter are frag- ments of another moat. Dennington (xlviii, 8). — Glebe Farm has a square moat, somewhat irregular, with a wide pond at the northern side. At Dennington Place, i^ miles west from the village, is the greater part of a quadrangular moat, fed by a channel on the south. Between the last two is a well-proportioned oblong moat at Whitehouse Farm. Dennington (xlix, 5). — Elm Hall, i mile south-east from the village, has a small oblong moat. Depden (liii, li). — Three sides of a moat re- main at Depden Hall, 6J miles south-west from Bury St. Edmunds. Drinkstone (Iv, 3). — Round the site of Drinkstone Hall, 5^ miles west from Stow- market, is an oblong moat. Drinkstone (xlv, 15). — West of Drinkstone Village, 6 miles west by south from Bury St. Edmunds, is an oblong moat. Earl Soham (xlviii, 10). — Three miles west from Framlingham, at Earl Soham Lodge, is a strong circular moat, which increases in width from 30 ft. on the west to 70 ft. on the south. Earl Stonham (xlvii, 13). — At Moat Farm, south-west of Westwood Hall, 4J miles north- east from Stowmarket, is a large oblong moat. The southern side has for the most part been destroyed. East Bergholt (Ixxxvii, 8). — Near Gibbons- gate Farm, 2 miles north-west from Manning- tree, a small oblong moat lies close by the River Stour, from which the water is obtained through a short channel. Easton (Iviii, 8). — At Martley Hall, north of Easton, and 2^ miles south from Framlingham, is an irregular hexagonal moat. Easton (lix, 5). — Bentries Farm, to the cast of Easton Park, has a moat rhombic in plan. Edwardstone (Ixxiii, 14). — At Moat Farm, Mill Green, north-east of the village and 4 miles east by north from Sudbury, is the northern side of a small moat. Elmsett (Ixxiv, 3). — A very small piece of a moat is left at Elmsett Hall, 4^ miles north-east from Hadleigh. The moat at Elmsett Rectory is half of an 608
