Moat Hall is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a moated site and formal garden in Suffolk, England. The moated enclosure represents a domestic settlement pattern characteristic of the medieval period, when such water-filled defensive features surrounded high-status residences across eastern England. The associated formal garden remains indicate the site's later refinement and use as a genteel residence, suggesting continuity of occupation or reoccupation into the post-medieval era. The site's archaeological significance lies in its preservation of both medieval settlement infrastructure and evidence of early modern landscape design.
