VCH record of a 'moated enclosure with stronger defensive works (Class G)'. The site of Necton Old Hall, north-west of the village, 2½ miles north-east from Bury St. Edmunds, is surrounded by a square moat, now somewhat dilapidated on the north. Outside the southern part of the eastern side is a portion of an agger over 100 ft. long, indicating the former defensive additions to the moat. (VCH)

Perambulation of the site not possible owing to standing crop, but local enquiries revealed the ruin of the hall was pulled down some time ago, and more recently the moat was bulldozed out. (PastScape–ref. Field Investigators Comments-F1 BHS 04-MAR-70)
