Overview

History & significance

Wade Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of high and late medieval settlement patterns in East Anglia, dating to approximately the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature defining the former domestic or manorial complex, representing the kind of modest fortified or status-marked residence common among the lesser gentry and substantial farmers of medieval Suffolk. Such moated sites are important archaeological evidence for understanding the distribution and character of medieval rural settlement and land use in the region.
