Moated site 240m south west of Whey Curd Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk. The site comprises a substantial moat, a form of water-filled ditch that served both defensive and status-signalling functions characteristic of medieval manorial settlements from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites were commonly associated with the residences of minor nobility, gentry, and prosperous farmers, providing protection for domestic and agricultural buildings within the enclosed area. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the enduring landscape imprint of medieval settlement patterns in Norfolk, though like many such sites, it has undergone centuries of landscape change since its period of active use.
