The medieval moated site 454 metres south-west of Sudbury Golf Club House is a fortified domestic enclosure dating from the medieval period. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform or island, a characteristic defensive and status-conferring feature of medieval manorial settlements in the Home Counties. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served as the residences of minor nobility, knights, or prosperous landowners. The site represents an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in the London area, preserving evidence of the landscape's feudal organisation and domestic arrangements prior to later suburban development.
