Moated site W of Reymerston is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding what was likely a residential enclosure, a common form of settlement fortification in medieval England, particularly among minor gentry and prosperous farmers. Such moated sites proliferated during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, and this example represents the typical pattern of medieval land tenure and domestic security in East Anglia. The earthwork survives as a ditched enclosure, though the upstanding remains may have been significantly modified by later agricultural use.
