Medieval moated site, Cooden is a moated enclosure located in East Sussex, dating to the medieval period. The site comprises a rectangular moat surrounding a central platform, a common defensive and status-indicating feature of medieval manorial settlements. Moated sites of this type became prevalent in England during the 12th and 13th centuries, serving both practical and symbolic functions for landholding families. The Cooden example represents a modest but significant survival of medieval settlement archaeology in the Sussex landscape.
