Moat Farm moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure typical of the period between the 12th and 16th centuries, when such defensive and status-conscious water-surrounded homesteads were constructed by landholding families throughout eastern England. The moat itself survives as a prominent earthwork feature, defining the perimeter of what would have been a residential and agricultural complex. Such moated sites represent an important category of medieval domestic archaeology, indicating patterns of settlement hierarchy and land management during the medieval period.
