It should also be noted that whilst only one garden wall, running south from the house, is listed (NHER 63729), there are a number of fine 19th-century garden walls. Also, (S2) does not mention the ornate fanlights to the main north and south doors of the house.

September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
An earthwork a possible ha ha of is visible in the grounds of Filby Hall on aerial photographs (S4) and (S5). The ha ha defines the edge of a lawn to the south of Filby Hall separating it from a less formal area of the grounds. It follows a zigzag course for a total of 190m between TG 46755 13295 and TG 46880 13300. This feature is not shown on the second edition 25" to the mile Ordnance Survey map (S6) and may be a 20th century garden feature replacing an earlier drainage ditch. Because of its potentially modern date it was not mapped by the NMP.
