A moated site and associated earthworks 200 metres south west of St Nicholas's Church is a medieval defensive enclosure situated in Norfolk. The monument comprises a substantial moat defining an irregular enclosure, characteristic of high-status medieval settlement patterns from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Associated ridge and furrow cultivation marks visible in the surrounding landscape indicate the agricultural economy supporting the moated settlement. The site represents a common form of medieval elite habitation in East Anglia, where water-filled moats provided both defensive capability and status display for manorial centres and gentry residences.
