A moated site 200m north east of St Peter's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located near the village of Turvey in Bedfordshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an enclosure typical of high medieval settlement patterns, dating from approximately the 12th to 14th centuries. Such moated homesteads were characteristic of the period and served both practical defensive purposes and as indicators of social status among the medieval gentry and substantial landholders. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological monument preserving evidence of medieval land use and settlement hierarchy within the English countryside.
