Full Description
Oval enclosure of land, western edge may follow an earlier feature.
Predates both New Buckenham castle and town (ie pre 1146). Had formerly been part of the Bishop's Manor of Eccles, and was transferred to D'Albini as part of the arrangements for the new castle. Remained subject to Eccles Manor but was used as Town Field of New Buckenham. Ditch remains in part as deep waterfilled hollow, but elsewhere has vanished.
