Caston Hall is a moated site located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat, characteristic of medieval manorial settlements, which would have formerly enclosed a timber or stone building of importance. The site dates to the medieval period, likely established during the twelfth to fourteenth centuries when such moated enclosures were commonly constructed by landholders of modest to middling status. The survival of the moat's earthworks provides evidence of domestic occupation and the landscape management practices of medieval Norfolk.
