 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. 6i Herringfleet (iv, 9). — At Herringfleet Hall, 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. HiNTLESHAM (Ixxxi, 4). — In an angle made by two roads south-west of the village, ^^ miles west by south from Ipswich, is an irregularly formed moat. HiTCHAM (Ixiv, 4). — The moat at Stanstead Hall is north of Cook's Green, and 5 miles north-east from Lavenham. HiTCHAM (Ixiv, 11). — Around the site of Wetherden Hall, north-east of Kettlebaston, 8^ miles north-east from Sudbury, is a strong square moat. This has evidently been surrounded by another of minor strength, of which one side and a portion of another forming the southern angle are extant. Hoo (Iviii, 11). — On the site of Goodwin's Place, 3 J miles south-west from Framlingham, are three sides of an oblong moat. Another to the north-west of the last, at Hoo Green, is of quadrangular plan ; part of the eastern 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. HORNINGSHEATH (or HoRRINGEr) (xliv, 9). At the site of Little Horringer Hall, 2^ miles south-west from Bury St. Edmunds, are two sides of a strong rectangular moat. Hoxne (xxv, 12). — An almost complete ob- long moat surrounds the vicarage, except where the south-eastern angle has been levelled. This is 3 miles north-east from Eye. Hoxne (xxvi, 9). — The western side of a small moat is at Chickering Corner Farm, south- east of the village, close to the road to Stradbroke. Hoxne (xxvi, 13). — Large pieces of a very irregular moated area are at Park Farm. College Farm, in the same parish, has a quad- rangular moat, outside which is a portion of another defending the western side. A mile south of Hoxne, at Cross Street, a moat surrounded a religious house, a cell to the
