Moated site 100m south-west of Bear Place is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Berkshire. The site comprises a water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, a common settlement feature of the high and late medieval period in England, typically dating between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites frequently served as the centres of manorial holdings and indicate the presence of a substantial residence or fortified dwelling, though the specific history and occupation phases of this particular example are not extensively documented in the accessible scholarly record. The survival of the moat structure demonstrates the site's archaeological importance for understanding medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
