Moated site 300m south west of Sowley Green Farm is a medieval defensive or high-status residential enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming a complete or near-complete circuit around a central platform, a characteristic feature of moated sites prevalent in medieval England, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such monuments typically served as the centres of manorial estates or farmsteads, with the moat providing both practical protection and a visual marker of status and authority. The site's survival as an earthwork or partially extant feature makes it an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in East Anglia.
