Moated site 300m north west of Hunts Park Farm is a medieval defensive settlement earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding the platform of a former dwelling, representing a form of aristocratic or gentry residence characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated homesteads were common amongst the medieval landowning classes as they provided both practical water management and a visual assertion of status and minor defensive capability. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the enduring archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns in East Anglia.
