Westhorpe Hall moated site and associated fishponds is a medieval monument located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of high-status medieval settlement, surrounded by water-filled ditches that served both defensive and practical purposes, alongside fishponds which provided an important food resource for the hall's inhabitants. The moated site and its associated features date to the medieval period, reflecting the agricultural and domestic arrangements characteristic of substantial rural residences of that era. The survival of the earthworks, including the pond features, provides evidence of medieval land management and the settlement hierarchy of Suffolk's medieval landscape.
