Weeting Castle is a moated 12th century manor house situated in Norfolk, England. The site comprises an irregular moated enclosure that once defended a timber or stone fortified residence typical of the Norman period, representing the domestic architecture of the minor gentry during the High Middle Ages. A post-medieval ice house was later constructed within or near the moat, indicating the site's continued use and adaptation during the early modern period. The monument survives as earthworks, demonstrating the persistence of medieval settlement patterns and the economic activities of successive occupants across several centuries.
