Great Bricett moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding an island platform, a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly common in East Anglia during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat would have served both defensive and water management functions, whilst the enclosed platform would have supported a timber or stone residence and associated domestic structures. The site represents a typical example of medieval manorial settlement in the region and remains a scheduled monument of archaeological importance.
