Lymball's Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat that once surrounded a residential or manorial enclosure, a form of defensive or status-affirming settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Moated sites of this type typically indicate the presence of a house of some social standing, whether belonging to minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous freeholders. The earthwork remains visible as a distinctive archaeological feature marking the historical settlement pattern of the Suffolk landscape.
