Overview

History & significance

Moated site 110m south west of St Mary's Church is a medieval earthwork monument located in Buckinghamshire. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly common in England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically comprised a central platform surrounded by water-filled or water-retaining ditches, which served both practical and symbolic functions for the resident household. The specific dating and developmental sequence of this particular example would depend on archaeological investigation and local documentary evidence, though its survival as an earthwork demonstrates its significance to the local medieval landscape.
