Moated site 300m south west of Sowley Green Farm is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The monument comprises a moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly surrounded a raised platform or island, which would have supported a timber or stone structure serving as a residence or stronghold for a local landowner or minor noble. Such moated sites were characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries across England, though they are particularly common in East Anglia. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the domestic arrangements of the period's lesser gentry or substantial farmers.
