Moated site at the Manor House, Arminghall is a medieval defensive earthwork comprising a water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a residential platform in Norfolk. The moat represents a characteristic form of minor aristocratic or gentry settlement dating to the medieval period, likely constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries. The site preserves evidence of the manorial organisation of the Norfolk landscape during the Middle Ages, with the water-filled enclosure serving both defensive and status-conferring functions. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological monument, demonstrating the settlement hierarchy and land management patterns of medieval Norfolk.
