Moated site in Round Grove is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding an area of habitation, typical of manorial farmsteads established during the medieval period. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the English landscape from approximately the twelfth century onwards, serving as defensive and status-conscious domestic enclosures for minor nobility and prosperous landowners.
