Boys Hall moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located approximately 410 metres north west of The Grange in Suffolk. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat which once surrounded a domestic dwelling and its associated farmyard, representing a form of medieval manorial residence typical of the 13th to 16th centuries. The moated enclosure survives as an earthwork feature, demonstrating the defensive and status-bearing characteristics common to the minor gentry and substantial farming classes during the medieval period. Such moated sites are particularly prevalent in East Anglia and indicate both the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval rural communities in the region.
