Moated site 390m south of the remains of St Mary's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat that would have enclosed a residential or manorial dwelling, characteristic of medieval settlement patterns from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically served high-status landholders and represent important evidence of medieval land use, social hierarchy, and settlement organisation in East Anglia. The monument's proximity to the former church site suggests it was part of an established medieval community with both religious and secular infrastructure.
