The moated manor at Old Windsor is a twelfth-century fortified residence, its defensive earthworks consisting of a substantial ditch encircling the residential platform. The site represents an important example of medieval aristocratic settlement in the Thames Valley, strategically positioned near the royal borough of Windsor. Queen Victoria's landing stage, a later addition to the site, dates from the nineteenth century and reflects the continued significance of the location as a Thames-side approach to Windsor during the Victorian period. The monument preserves evidence of both medieval feudal settlement patterns and later royal associations with the area.
