Moated site at Folly Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic form of modest fortification common in medieval England, particularly among gentry and substantial farmers. Dating to the medieval period, the moat would have served both defensive and status-conferring functions, with the enclosed area originally occupied by domestic structures. The survival of the moat as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in East Anglia.
