Moated site of Old Berghersh House is a medieval earthwork monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moat, an extensive water-filled defensive ditch that once enclosed a residential compound, typical of medieval manorial settlements in East Anglia. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent in the medieval period, serving as a symbol of status and providing practical defence for the homestead of a landholding family. The earthwork remains visible as a significant archaeological feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic fortification practices in the region.
