Moated site in Falstoff's Wood, 450m north west of Whitehall Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site consists of a water-filled moat surrounding a central platform, a characteristic fortification type that became prevalent among the landholding classes during the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as residences for minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous merchants, combining domestic function with modest defensive capability. The earthwork remains archaeologically significant as evidence of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in Norfolk.
