The double moated site south of Coldhams Farm is a medieval earthwork monument located in Essex, consisting of two adjoining rectangular moated enclosures. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a form of defensive or prestigious domestic settlement typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The two moats, which survive as visible earthwork features, would originally have held water and enclosed areas suitable for manorial activity, agricultural storage, or residential purposes. Such moated sites are common across Essex and reflect the settlement patterns and land use of medieval rural communities in the region.
