NHER 13563 (Monument record) - Possible medieval moat

Moat marked on 1840 tithe map (Norfolk Record Office). The south side still marked by the Ordnance Survey. North side would now be under the bypass.

May 1978.
South ditch only faintly visible.
Narrow wet ditch along road on east, probably not the original. Interior part bumpy field and part overgrown gardens of wooden shacks.

GIS overlay shows that in fact the north (or rather northeast) side is not in fact under the bypass but parallel to it. The road to the southeast has been moved so indeed the present ditch here is not original; the arm of the moat formed the edge of the older road. The moat would surround the modern house called Homestead and that called Brookside is just outside its southwest arm.
