Bury Yard moated site is a medieval monument located adjacent to Milldyke in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, with water-filled ditches that would have provided both defensive and status-affirming functions characteristic of high-status residences from the twelfth century onwards. The moat survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of domestic occupation and landholding patterns from the medieval period. Such moated sites are common across eastern England and represent the material remains of the gentry and substantial farming families who controlled the landscape during the Middle Ages.
