Would I be right in calling this I. lacunosa? I found it in a ditch.

The last photo is the most useful,as Ipomoea lacunosa has pigmented anthers...Ipomoea lacunosa can have widely varying flower and leaf forms,and can be almost indistinguishable from Ipomoea triloba...both of these species can have very varied leaf forms, flower shapes and colors...and strains of Ipomoea x leucantha can also look very similar...if you have purple tinted anthers then you've probably got Ipomoea lacunosa...I have a strain of Ipomoea lacunosa that I call var.erosus,because the flowers are almost impossible to find...even if you are looking directly at them...
