Moated site SE of All Saint's Church, Hargham is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that survives as a water-filled or damp feature defining the former perimeter of a manorial enclosure. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites were characteristically constructed between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries and served as the focal points of manorial settlements, providing both practical defence and a visual marker of social status. The example at Hargham represents the type of modest fortified residence typical of the lesser Norfolk gentry during the medieval era.
