Moated site at Chediston Grange is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding an enclosed area that would have contained domestic and ancillary buildings, typical of the moated grange settlements that served to protect farmsteads and their occupants during the medieval period. Such moated sites were prevalent across East Anglia from the twelfth century onwards, reflecting both practical security concerns and the status of their inhabitants. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature, preserving evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns in the Suffolk landscape.
