The moated site immediately south east of New House Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk. The monument consists of a rectangular moat enclosing a residential platform, a form of settlement fortification characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated homesteads were common amongst lesser landholders and gentry across East Anglia during the medieval period, serving both practical defensive purposes and as markers of social status. The survival of the earthwork provides evidence for patterns of rural settlement and land use in medieval Suffolk.
