The moated site 140m south west of Histon Manor is a medieval earthwork monument located in Cambridgeshire. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or water-drained moat forming a defensive or demarcating boundary around a domestic or manorial settlement. Dating to the medieval period, such moated enclosures were characteristic features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, serving both practical and status-affirming functions for landholding families. The survival of the earthwork as an archaeological feature provides evidence for settlement patterns and land organisation in medieval Cambridgeshire.
