Moated site at Denham Hall is a medieval earthwork monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat that once enclosed a residential or manorial complex, typical of the defended homesteads constructed by the English gentry during the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in East Anglia between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, serving both defensive and status-affirming purposes for landholding families. The surviving earthwork at Denham Hall represents an important example of medieval domestic settlement archaeology and demonstrates the landscape investment characteristic of established medieval landowners in Suffolk.
