Earthworks of ditches and part of a possible post medieval moat are visible on aerial photographs (S2). These earthworks are centred on TG 4255 0337. Earthworks of linear ditches were present to the north of the farmyard in 1953. These included a 10m wide section of roughly west to east aligned ditch. To its west was an L-shaped section of ditch earthwork forming the southwest corner of an earthwork platform. A rectangular 8m by 4m depression is present in the platform and it is possible that it relates to a structure. The position of the platform appears to correspond to a courtyard associated with outbuildings on the 1841 Reedham tithe map (S3). These earthworks relate to the site of Reedham Hall, a 16th century house which burnt down in 1750 (S1), or its Georgian replacement that was that was demolished sometime around the early 20th century. It is possible that the ditches relate to a moat, boundaries or garden features. All of these earthworks appear to have been destroyed by later developments at the farm.
