Moated site 240m south west of Whey Curd Farm is a medieval defensive or domestic enclosure located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an island platform, a characteristic feature of moated sites that were typically constructed during the 12th to 16th centuries as farmstead defences or status symbols for rural landholders. Such sites served both practical and symbolic functions, protecting livestock and valuables whilst demonstrating the occupant's social standing. The site's exact dating and original architectural features remain subject to archaeological investigation, though its form is consistent with medieval settlement patterns documented across East Anglia.
