Great Bricett moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a substantial moated platform, characteristic of the residential and defensive settlements that developed across East Anglia during the medieval period. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth century onwards and served as the focal points of manorial holdings, combining practical water defences with status display for local landholding families. The Great Bricett example represents the type of earthwork settlement that remained common in Suffolk throughout the medieval centuries, with its ditched perimeter preserving evidence of medieval occupation and social hierarchy within the rural landscape.
