Gisleham Manor moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located approximately 400 metres south-west of White House Farm in Suffolk. The site consists of the characteristic water-filled or drained ditches that enclosed a manorial dwelling, representing a form of domestic fortification common amongst the gentry and minor nobility of medieval England. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites typically served both defensive and status-defining functions, with the surrounding water providing practical protection and visual demonstration of the occupant's social standing. The earthworks survive as an important record of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of the Suffolk landscape during the feudal period.
