Moated site 140m east of Papworth Hall is a medieval defensive or residential enclosure located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat defining an island platform, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlement in East Anglia dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated homesteads typically served as the focal points of manorial estates, combining practical water defences with conspicuous displays of social standing. The survival of the moat as an earthwork and water feature makes this an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in the region.
