Moated site 1/2 mile (800m) SW of Moat Farm is a medieval defensive or domestic enclosure located near Dennington in Suffolk. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an approximately rectangular perimeter, a characteristic form of manorial settlement dating to the medieval period, probably between the 12th and 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically enclosed a residence and associated farm buildings of a minor landholding family or the demesne of a larger estate. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and represents an important example of the dispersed settlement pattern and land organisation characteristic of medieval Suffolk.
