Moated site at Ganwick Farm, 580m west of House Farm is a medieval moated enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been a residential or manorial dwelling, characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in East Anglia. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites typically served as the homesteads of minor gentry or substantial farmers, providing both defensive capability and status symbol during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The site remains visible as earthwork features and represents an important survival of the dispersed rural settlement pattern that characterised medieval Suffolk.
