Moot Hill is a raised earthwork located in Norfolk, England, that represents a meeting place of medieval administrative significance. The site comprises an elevated mound that served as a gathering point for local governance and legal proceedings during the medieval period. Such moots functioned as assembly grounds where freemen and landowners would convene to conduct business relating to hundred courts or other territorial administration. The earthwork survives as a physical reminder of the decentralised system of local authority that characterised medieval England before the centralisation of judicial and administrative power.
