Weeting Castle is a 12th-century moated manor house site located in Norfolk, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a rectangular moat surrounding what was originally a substantial residential complex, typical of the Norman period when such fortified manorial settlements represented the domestic seats of local landholders. The moat itself remains a prominent topographical feature, enclosing an area that once contained a timber or stone hall with associated outbuildings. A post-medieval ice house, later constructed within or near the moated enclosure, demonstrates the site's continued use and investment through subsequent centuries, reflecting the changing agricultural and domestic practices of its later owners.
