A surviving moat, once the site of the manor house for Acton, becoming a farmhouse in the mid-fifteenth century. The house was replaced in the late-nineteenth century, new farm buildings added and an avenue lined the approach to the site – probably of an earlier date – that was replanted during the twentieth century. Now the site of a farmhouse.

A surviving moated complex, believed to have been used as an intensively managed food production centre suggestive of a fish farm, possibly originally for the monastery at Bury St Edmunds and by the early-seventeenth century for Melford Hall. Now the site of a farmhouse.

The site of an early-eighteenth century mansion designed by James Gibbs with landscape park, pleasure grounds, canal and partly-walled kitchen garden. The mansion was mostly demolished in the first half of the nineteenth century, leaving a pavilion and outbuildings converted to form a house, with new pleasure grounds created at the time. In the early-twentieth century much of the park was turned to arable. In 1961 the house and gardens were demolished and it is now the site of a business park. Remains of the canal survive at its entrance.
