Moated site N of Reed Fen is a medieval earthwork monument located in Norfolk, England. The site consists of a substantial moat defining an enclosed residential enclosure, characteristic of the moated homestead tradition that flourished in medieval England, particularly during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the defended or status-marked residences of minor gentry or prosperous peasant farmers, and their survival as earthwork features provides important archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in Norfolk. The monument remains visible as an upstanding earthwork, contributing to the archaeological record of medieval domestic settlement in the county.
