The moated site at the Manor House, Arminghall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded a manorial residence, representing a common form of aristocratic settlement in medieval England from approximately the twelfth century onwards. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature, with water-filled or seasonally wet ditches defining the enclosed area. Such moated sites typically functioned as status symbols and practical defensive structures for minor nobility and gentry during the medieval period, and the Arminghall example contributes to the archaeological understanding of Norfolk's medieval settlement patterns and manorial organisation.
