Moated site 430m south west of Bradenham Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a moat forming an irregular enclosure, characteristic of small manorial or domestic settlements of the medieval period. Such moated sites were common throughout Norfolk and the eastern Midlands from the twelfth century onwards, serving to protect the residence and demesne of minor gentry or substantial landholders. The survival of the moat as an earthwork provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Norfolk countryside.
