Moated site in Hills and Holes Plantation is a medieval defensive and residential earthwork located approximately 30 metres north-west of Home Farm in Norfolk. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an enclosure, characteristic of moated sites that served as the fortified homesteads of minor gentry and prosperous farmers during the medieval period. Such moated enclosures typically date from the 12th to 16th centuries and represent a significant category of medieval settlement archaeology in England. The site's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of medieval land occupation and property demarcation in the Norfolk landscape.
