Description
NRHE data transfer:
Old Hall, Moat. <1>
Moat at Old Hall. The south-east scarp of the island is revetted with 16th century bricks. Adjoining the moat is a long narrow fishpond. Old Hall (now a farmhouse) is of 18th century
date and later. <2> <3>
Old Hall. <4>
Grade II. For details see listing. <5>
This site is included in a survey of moats in the Haverhill area (see illustration). It is reported that local informants claim that the single channel to the NW of the moat is of recent date (within the last 50 years). Another suggestion is that it is the surviving arm of a double moat. <6>
