The remains of a medieval moat, with the remains of a medieval flint and tile bastion and retaining wall. This site is thought to have been the site of the hall built by Sir Thomas Erpingham in about 1400. (Norfolk HER)
There is indeed an L shaped fragment of wet moat in overgrown hollow, but walling is in fact a bastion standing in its original position in the moat, compare with that at Hales Hall, (NHER 1053). Composed of mortared flint with tile course, about 1.5m high, at least 3m long including retaining wall from which it projects, but ends hidden by undergrowth. It retains the east wall of central island, this is raised above level of field with slight traces of missing sides of moat. Field (under silage crop) is known as Castle Field. It rises abruptly to south. Owner believes adjacent field hedge on east contains a flint wall, but no traces found where it had been cut through for gates etc. (Norfolk HER–ref. E.
