A moated site and associated garden earthworks 460m south east of Boys Hall is a medieval settlement monument located in Kent, England. The moat itself represents a form of domestic fortification and status symbol characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, when such features became common amongst the landholding classes. The associated garden earthworks indicate structured agricultural and domestic organisation around the moated enclosure, reflecting the self-sufficient economy typical of medieval manorial estates. The site's survival as earthwork remains provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the use of water-based defensive or boundary features in the Kentish landscape.
