Overview

History & significance

Moated site 110m south west of St Mary's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled moat that formed a protective barrier around a residential or manorial enclosure, a settlement pattern characteristic of the medieval period in southern England. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries and served both practical defensive functions and as expressions of status and territorial control. The survival of the moat as an earthwork indicates the site's abandonment as a residence, with its preserved physical form providing archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns in the locality.
