Denham College moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Suffolk, England. The monument consists of a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded domestic and agricultural buildings, representing a form of settlement pattern common amongst the middling landholding classes during the medieval period. The site dates from the medieval period, likely established during the high medieval centuries when such moated homesteads were widely constructed across eastern England. The moat itself survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the layout and defensive character of this former residential enclosure.
