Moated site 200m south west of Bell Farm is a medieval enclosed farmstead located in Suffolk, England. The monument consists of a moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that typically surrounded a residential or agricultural complex, and represents a form of settlement common in medieval England from approximately the 12th century onwards. Such moated sites served both practical and status-conscious purposes, providing drainage, defence, and a visible marker of landholding and social standing. The site's survival as an archaeological feature preserves evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in the Suffolk landscape.
