Moated site at Flimworth Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat that formerly enclosed a residential settlement, a form of domestic fortification common in England during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served both practical and status functions, providing protection and demonstrating the landowner's wealth and authority. The Flimworth Hall moat represents an important surviving example of this settlement type in the Suffolk landscape.
