Wetherden Hall is a moated site with associated fishponds located in Suffolk, England, representing a medieval settlement pattern typical of the region. The moated enclosure, which survives as an earthwork feature, dates from the medieval period and would originally have served both defensive and status-conferring functions for its occupants. The associated fishponds demonstrate the economic importance of aquaculture to the estate and reflect the resources available to its medieval inhabitants. These features together constitute a valuable example of the physical remains of high-status rural settlement in medieval East Anglia.
