Moot Hill is a prominent earthwork located in Norfolk, England, representing a significant administrative and judicial centre of medieval date. The site comprises a substantial mound with associated ditching, characteristic of Anglo-Norman motte-and-bailey castles or manorial administrative sites constructed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Its name reflects its function as a meeting place for local governance and law-giving, a role common to such elevated positions within feudal territorial organisation. The earthwork survives as a tangible record of medieval power structures and the physical expression of administrative authority in the Norfolk landscape.
