Moated site at Redhouse Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of the medieval period when such features provided both practical and symbolic protection for the dwellings they enclosed. Moated sites became increasingly common in England from the twelfth century onwards and remained in use through the medieval period, with many continuing to be occupied into later centuries. The Redhouse Farm example represents an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and the domestic arrangements of its inhabitants, preserving evidence of medieval land use and social hierarchy in Suffolk.
