Shernborne Hall is a moated site with associated earthworks located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat enclosing the former manorial residence, typical of medieval aristocratic settlement patterns in East Anglia, dating from the medieval period. The earthworks preserve evidence of the hall's domestic and agricultural layout, with the moat itself serving both defensive and water management functions characteristic of medieval elite dwellings. The site represents an important example of Norfolk's medieval settlement archaeology and demonstrates the territorial organisation of a minor medieval manor.
