Moated site 130m north east of Moorgreen Farm is a medieval defensive or residential enclosure located in Worcestershire. The monument comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an irregular enclosure, a characteristic feature of moated sites that flourished during the medieval period as indicators of relatively high status occupation. Such sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both defensive and status-marking functions for their occupants. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the Worcestershire landscape.
