Moated site of Old Berghersh House is a medieval moated enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a substantial moat that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial settlement, typical of the defended domestic architecture favoured by minor gentry and substantial landholders during the medieval period. The moat survives as an archaeological earthwork, preserving evidence of settlement patterns and land management practices from the medieval era. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the Suffolk landscape and provide important evidence for understanding the distribution and organisation of medieval rural settlement in East Anglia.
