Moated site at Bleach Farm is a medieval domestic enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding the former homestead, a common defensive and status-indicating feature of medieval rural settlements from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically enclosed a timber or stone dwelling with associated farm buildings and were particularly prevalent in East Anglia during the medieval period. The earthwork remains at Bleach Farm preserve evidence of this medieval settlement pattern and contribute to understanding the distribution and character of rural habitation in Suffolk during the Middle Ages.
