Russell's Hill moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of high medieval rural settlement patterns, dating to the period between the 12th and 16th centuries. The moat itself represents a form of defensive and status-defining boundary typical of manorial settlements of this era, suggesting occupation by a family of some social standing. The earthwork survives as an archaeological monument and forms part of the broader pattern of deserted and shrunken medieval villages documented across East Anglia.
