Medieval moated site north-east of Upper Common is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of medieval domestic settlement, with the characteristic water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform that once supported residential and agricultural buildings. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites represent a widespread form of settlement defence and status symbol amongst the lesser nobility and substantial landholding classes during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and contributes to understanding of dispersed medieval settlement patterns in the South East.
