Moated site 160m north east of Avenue Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a water-filled or water-retaining moat forming an enclosure typical of the 12th to 16th centuries, a period when such fortified farmsteads were constructed by minor gentry and substantial landholders. The moat's physical form survives as a substantial landscape feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the Norfolk countryside. Such moated sites represent important archaeological records of medieval rural administration and social hierarchy, documenting the dispersed settlement strategy that characterised medieval Norfolk.
