Moated site 140m north east of Crimplesham Hall is a medieval defensive and domestic earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site consists of a rectangular moat enclosing an island platform, a common feature of medieval manorial settlements and farmsteads dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic functions, providing water-based defence and drainage whilst denoting the status and authority of their occupants. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of medieval land use patterns in East Anglia.
