Double moated site 60m east of Baxterley church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Warwickshire. The monument comprises two distinct moated enclosures, characteristic of the moated sites that proliferated across England during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such sites typically served as the fortified residences of minor nobility or substantial landholders, their moats providing both practical defence and a visible symbol of status and territorial control. The survival of the earthwork remains at this location provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Warwickshire region.
