Moated site at Moat Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork situated in Suffolk, England. The monument consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that once encircled a residential or manorial site, a common form of settlement fortification in medieval England particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served minor gentry, prosperous farmers, or officials, providing both physical protection and a visible marker of status and authority. The earthwork remains an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in East Anglia.
