Full Description
Square moat with entrance on west side. Close to church and with earthworks to W (see EXG 051). Site of Landwade Hall, Scheduled November 1980. See PMed & (S2) for details. Formerly in Fordham, Cambridgeshire (SAM No. C249), transferred to Suffolk with county boundary change in April 1994.
Summary: Moat with steep sides formerly revetted with Ely brick. The original entrance appears to have been by a bridge crossing the middle of the south arm, but access is now given by a 19th century bridge near the south west corner of the west side (NMR).
