Moated site at Elm Hall is a medieval moated enclosure situated in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled moat forming a roughly rectangular or circular perimeter, a characteristic defensive and status-defining feature of high medieval settlement patterns, particularly common among manorial complexes of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically enclosed domestic, agricultural, and ancillary structures, serving both practical and symbolic functions within the feudal landscape. The monument is designated as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important example of the medieval settlement archaeology that characterises the East Anglian countryside.
