NAU air photographs show only a possible track.

Hales Survey suggest possible earthworks in area marked as copse on (S1) just west of Ingloss Manor House; and that pond with island just southwest of this may be a moat.

Identified by J. Wymer (NAU).

November 2000. Visit.
Village site under arable. Depressions in garden west of manor house resemble fish ponds. Pond in southwest corner dug by owners.
H. Paterson (A&E), 17 January 2001.

There seems to be a misunderstanding behind the last entry. The pond in the southwest of the garden may have been dug by the owners but the possible moat is outside the garden boundary further southwest and is shown on (S1) in its present moat-like form.
E. Rose (NLA), 20 February 2006.

(S3) suggests that this is a probable Late Saxon site that expanded in the medieval period, and the Domesday villa appears to have been very small and fairly isolated from other sites.
See (S3) for more details.

July 2007. Norfolk NMP.
No features of archaeological significance were identified on the consulted aerial photographs. The ‘trackway’ mentioned above may be a post medieval field boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S4) and visible as a cropmark to the south of the manor house.

The above possible medieval moat (centred at approximately TM 3431 9656) is visible on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2022 (S5). As the survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the feature still survives as an earthwork.
