Moated site 530m north east of Manor Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform or island, a common feature of high-status medieval settlements dating primarily to the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the centres of manorial estates and provided both practical defence and visual demonstration of their occupants' authority and wealth. The earthwork remains substantially preserved as an archaeological feature, retaining its diagnostic moat circuit and internal platform.
