Russell's Hill moated site is a medieval fortified enclosure located in Suffolk, England. The monument consists of a substantial moat surrounding a raised platform, a defensive arrangement typical of minor aristocratic and gentry settlements in medieval East Anglia. The site dates to the medieval period, likely established during the later Middle Ages when such moated homesteads were common throughout southern England as symbols of status and practical defence. The earthworks remain substantially preserved, providing evidence of domestic settlement patterns and land management practices among the rural elite of medieval Suffolk.
