Moated manorial site 200m north-west of East Field Copse is a medieval defensive and residential enclosure located in Berkshire. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding the residential platform of a manor house, a characteristic feature of medieval manorial architecture from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served both practical and status-conscious functions, providing water-based defence, drainage, and a visual expression of the resident's social standing. The monument remains largely preserved as an earthwork, representing an important example of medieval settlement hierarchy and landholding patterns in the region.
