Overview

History & significance

The moated site immediately south of Pinhoe Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Suffolk. The site comprises a water-filled or partially water-filled moat forming an enclosure, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlement in East Anglia dating to the 12th–14th centuries. Such moated sites typically contained the residential and domestic buildings of a manor house or substantial homestead, with the moat serving both defensive and status-affirming functions. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the persistence of medieval field monuments in the Suffolk landscape, though the superstructure buildings have long since been removed or destroyed.
