Moat Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure of medieval date, representing a form of defensive domestic settlement that was common amongst gentry and substantial farming families from the twelfth century onwards. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature, defining the boundary of what would have been a residential or manorial holding. Such moated sites are characteristic of the East Anglian landscape and provide evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and the social organisation of the medieval countryside.
