Overview

History & significance

The moated site and earthworks north of Stubley Farm in Norfolk is a medieval settlement monument comprising a substantial moated enclosure with associated earthwork features. The site dates to the medieval period, likely established between the 12th and 16th centuries, and represents the residential and domestic arrangements of a manorial holding or substantial farmstead. The moat itself survives as a prominent water-filled or water-retentive ditch forming an enclosure, whilst surrounding earthworks indicate outbuildings, field systems, or additional settlement structures typical of medieval rural settlement patterns. Such moated sites are characteristic of Norfolk's medieval landscape and provide valuable archaeological evidence of settlement organisation and land use during the medieval centuries.
