The monument consists of a moat that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial settlement, a common defensive and status-indicating feature of medieval domestic sites in England. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites typically represent the residences of minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous yeomanry, and Palstre Court's construction and layout reflect the medieval concern for both security and the demonstration of social standing.
