Moated enclosure 230m north-west of Faulkner House is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a substantial ditch enclosing a raised platform, a characteristic feature of moated sites that were constructed throughout the medieval period as secure domestic and agricultural compounds for the gentry and prosperous landowners. Such enclosures typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical defensive functions and as symbols of status and territorial possession. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in Norfolk.
