The moated site and 18th century dovecote 600 metres east of Outchester is an ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval moated enclosure together with a later brick-built dovecote structure. The moated site represents a form of medieval settlement fortification common in northern England, with the surrounding ditch serving both defensive and drainage functions. The subsequently constructed dovecote, built in the 18th century, reflects the agricultural prosperity of the post-medieval period and indicates continued occupation and management of the site. Together, these elements document the evolution of the settlement from medieval times through to the early modern era.
