Moated site 100m north west of The Manor is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The site consists of a substantial moat, a characteristic feature of medieval manorial settlements from the twelfth century onwards, which would have surrounded a residential or administrative building and served both defensive and status-symbolising functions. The earthwork remains visible in the modern landscape as a prominent topographical feature, preserving evidence of the medieval settlement pattern in the area. Such moated sites are common throughout the East Midlands and represent the domestic architecture of medieval gentry and lesser nobility during the later medieval period.
