Moated site at King's Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled moat encircling a residential platform, a characteristic feature of medieval manorial settlements in eastern England dating from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites served both practical defensive purposes and as visible markers of social status and territorial authority. The King's Farm example represents the type of modest aristocratic or gentry residence that was common throughout the medieval period in this region.
