Woodrising Hall moated site is a medieval enclosure monument located in Norfolk, England. The site consists of a substantial moat that formerly enclosed a residential complex, typical of high-status medieval settlement patterns in East Anglia. Dating from the medieval period, the moated enclosure represents the earthwork remains of a manorial site associated with the local gentry or minor nobility. The monument survives as an archaeological feature, with the moat banks and ditches remaining visible in the modern landscape as evidence of medieval landholding and domestic occupation.
