Moated site 140m north east of Crimplesham Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk. The monument comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or manorial structure, typical of high-status settlements from the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical and symbolic functions, providing protection and asserting the status of their occupants. The site's proximity to Crimplesham Hall suggests it may represent an earlier phase of settlement or a secondary manorial holding within the local medieval landscape.
