Medieval moated site, Silver Wood, Pivington is a moated enclosure of medieval date located in Kent. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding a raised platform, characteristic of the moated homestead form that emerged during the high medieval period as a defensive and status-affirming feature of rural settlement. The monument represents a typical example of the moated sites that became widespread in south-eastern England from the twelfth century onwards, serving as the focal point of a manorial or substantial peasant holding. The surviving earthworks demonstrate the enduring physical remains of medieval domestic and agrarian organisation in the Kent landscape.
