Moated site 530m north east of Manor Farm is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an irregular or sub-rectangular circuit, typical of the moated homestead tradition established in England from the 12th century onwards. Such sites served as fortified farmsteads for gentry and substantial landholding families, combining practical water defence with status and prestige. The Norfolk landscape contains numerous examples of these moated sites, representing an important class of medieval settlement evidence that is now largely archaeological in character.
