Moated site, formerly the site of Rushbrooke Hall, 400m south west of Poplar Meadow is a medieval moated enclosure in Suffolk. The site consists of a water-filled or water-logged ditch forming a rectangular or sub-rectangular circuit, characteristic of high-status residential sites of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served as the defended domestic seats of minor gentry or substantial landholders. The moat at Rushbrooke represents the physical remains of a former hall and its associated precinct, though the superstructure buildings have not survived above ground.
