Moat Farm moated site and associated pond is a medieval residential moat located in Suffolk, England. The monument comprises a moated enclosure typical of the medieval period, when such earthwork defences served to demarcate and protect the dwellings of the gentry and minor nobility. The site retains evidence of its former water-filled ditch system, with associated water management features including a pond that would have supplied and maintained the moat. Such moated sites were particularly common in medieval East Anglia and represent an important category of domestic archaeology from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries.
