According to the Suffolk Historic Environment Record (and the Victoria County History which the article currently cites) the motte is 80 feet (24 m) high. I'm reading D. J. Cathcart King's "The field archaeology of mottes in England and Wales: eine kurze ubersicht" inChateau Gaillard and on pg 103 he says "I agree with the author of the V.C.H. earthworks chapter that [Huaughley] is a very fine specimen, though I cannot possibly accept his statement that it is 100 ft./30 metres in height. Footnoted: It is probably 40 feet/12 metres high." It's not very scientific, but he did measure some 600 mottes in England so probably has a good eye for their height. Is it worth swapping out the 80ft measurement? Richard Nevell (talk) 21:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
