Full Description
October 1976.
Moat on Ordnance Survey map.
Wide arms, full of water. Central island overgrown. Kept as garden ornament.
E. Rose (NAU), 6 October 1976.
(S1) marks house on this site as Hellesdon House! (from Heylesdon's manor, compare with (S2)) but does not show moat.
E. Rose (NAU), 28 March 1983.
1986. Norfolk Archaeological Research Group survey.
(S3) (copy in file) and notes (S4); note marshy island, no finds, query if perhaps a post medieval garden ornament, but on balance reject this owing to poverty of post medieval owners and decide a moat later planted as garden, with water table altered.
E. Rose (NAU), 10 November 1986.
1992.
No change, now waterfilled, but interior a lawn now.
E. Rose (NLA), 27 May 1992.
March 2003.
Ditches wide (maximunm about 11m) waterfilled. Interior grass and woodland. Bank on outer side of moat to north, and on inner face to east. Remainder of interior shows no undulations. Wooden landing stage. Some brick revetment. Lined drain east of bridge at southeast. One large tree.
H. Paterson (A&E), 27 May 2003.

It may have been abandoned during the 17th or 18th centuries when the Hall (NHER 11610) to the north was increased in size.
See (S5).
