Moated site at King's Farm is a medieval residential enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding an inner platform, a characteristic defensive and status-indicating feature of the medieval period. Such moated sites were common amongst minor gentry and prosperous landholders during the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries, serving both practical and symbolic functions within the medieval settlement hierarchy. The King's Farm moat represents a typical example of this settlement form in East Anglian archaeology, preserving evidence of medieval land use and social organisation in the Suffolk countryside.
