Moated site and medieval field system in Church Field, 60m north of St John's Church in Norfolk, is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of the earthwork remains of a medieval moat alongside evidence of associated field systems. The moat itself represents a domestic settlement pattern characteristic of the medieval period, when such water-filled enclosures served both defensive and status-marking functions for minor landholders or gentry. The survival of the field system alongside the moated enclosure provides archaeological evidence of the broader agrarian landscape and land management practices contemporary with the settlement. The site contributes to our understanding of rural settlement patterns and medieval land use in Norfolk during the medieval period.
