Medieval moated site, Peters Green is a moated enclosure situated in Sussex, England, dating to the medieval period. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic defensive and status-indicating feature of medieval manorial settlements. Moated sites of this type were commonly constructed from the twelfth century onwards by landholding families seeking to protect their domestic and agricultural compounds. The Peters Green example represents the physical remains of medieval settlement hierarchy and land use patterns typical of the Sussex weald and surrounding regions during the medieval period.
