Overview

History & significance

Two moated sites adjoining All Saints' Church is a medieval monument located in Suffolk, England. The two moated enclosures represent domestic or manorial occupation of the medieval period, with their water-filled or water-retaining ditches indicating settlement sites of elevated social status. Such moated homesteads were characteristic of medieval rural settlement patterns, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, and their proximity to the parish church suggests a connection to local landholding families of substance. The preservation of both moated sites adjacent to All Saints' Church provides evidence of the medieval landscape organisation and the relationship between ecclesiastical and secular settlement in this part of Suffolk.
