Moated site 150m south of St James' Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of the medieval period when such features served both defensive and status-conferring functions for minor nobility and substantial landholders. The monument dates to the medieval period, when moated sites were particularly common across East Anglia as markers of local authority and settlement. The site's proximity to St James' Church suggests its integration within the ecclesiastical and manorial landscape of the medieval parish.
