Moated site at Chediston Grange is a medieval moated enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been a residential compound, typical of the manorial settlements established during the medieval period. Such moated sites represent a widespread form of high-status domestic settlement in eastern England from the twelfth century onwards, serving both defensive and symbolic functions within the manorial landscape. The earthworks at Chediston Grange survive as a notable example of this settlement type, preserving evidence of medieval land use and social organisation in Suffolk.
