Godwin's Place moated site and ponds is a medieval monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, surrounded by associated water features including fishponds which served both practical and status-conscious functions common to properties of the period. Such moated sites were widespread across medieval England, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, and represent the domestic and agricultural centres of local landholding families. The survival of the earthworks and pond systems at Godwin's Place provides archaeological evidence for medieval settlement patterns and land management practices in East Anglia.
