 A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK western sides are straight, but the others form one curve. Thrandeston (xxv, lo). — At Malting Farm, east of the village, 2 miles north-north-west from Eye, is a portion of a moat, so mutilated as to obscure its former plan. Thrandeston (xxv, 14). — A small quad- rangular moat remains at Goswold Hall, north of Yaxley. Thwaite (xxxvi, 13). — A quadrangular moat remains in good condition around the site of the old hall, west of the village, 4^ miles south-west from Eye. Thwaite (xxxvi, 14). — To the west of Willow Farm is a small square moat. Thwaite (xlvii, 2). — At Brockford Hall, north-west of Brockford Street hamlet, is a long cutting with a broadened part which once formed a side of a moat. Ufford (Ixviii, 5). — UfFord Castle, 3 miles north-east from Woodbridge, is an oblong moated site, divided into two unequal portions by a ditch. Walsham le Willows (xxxv, 6). — The greater part of a quadrangular moat is at High Hall, north-east of Cranmer Green, 7^ miles west by south from Eye. Walsham le Willows (xxxv, 9). — At Crow- land Hall is another, of square plan. Wantisden (Ixviii, 4). — Old Yards, 6 miles north-east from Woodbridge, the site of the old hall and its grounds, is surrounded by a moat 6 ft. deep, and the area is divided into two parts by a branch of the same ; the southern part is rectangular in plan and the northern is semi- circular. Washbrook (Ixxxi, 4). — The moat at Birch House, south of Chattisham, 5 miles south-west from Ipswich, is a small quadrangle, spreading into a i>ond on the western side, and another pond to the south for receiving the overflow. Washbrook (Ixxxii, i). — At, Washbrook Green, west of Copdock, are three sides of an elongated rectangular moat. Wattisham (Ixv, i). — Three disconnected fragments of a moat are at Loose Hall, north- west of the village, 5^ miles south-west by west from Needham Market. Wbnham, Great (Ixxxi, 3). — A circular moat at Vauxhall lies to the west of Birch House, 5^ miles south-west from Ipswich. Westhall (xviii, 13). — A fragment of an oblong moat lies to the west of Cox Common, 5^ miles south-south-west from Beccles. Westhall (xviii, 14). — At Rookery Farm, south-east of Cox Common, are three sides of a rectangular moat. Westhall (xxviii, 2). — Moat Yards, Mill Common, are so called from a double moat, one within the other. The innermost is an oblong, nearly square ; and the outer, also rectangular, inclosing a larger area, has but two sides left. Westhorpe (xxxv, 11). — At Moathill Barn, north-west of the village, 7 miles north from Stowmarket, a square moat may be traced, south of which are two water trenches, which may possibly have been another inclosure. Half a mile to the north of the latter, on the site of the old Westhorpe Hall, is the greater part of a quadrangular moat, fed by a stream from the east, and to the south is another irregu- lar inclosure. Westleton (xxxix, 10). — Lyen ball's Farm, north-east of Darsham, 5 miles south-south-east from Halesworth, has the remains of a double moat, one within the other. The inner moat, a parallelogram, is perfect ; but of the outer one only the northern and western sides are extant, at which sides only 50 ft. divide them, but it is evident that at the eastern side a considerably larger tract of land has been inclosed. Wetherden (xlvi, 5). — One side and an angle of a small moat arc at Upper Lodge, south of Wetherden Upper Town, 7^ miles north-west from Needham Market.
