Moated site 150m east of St Nicholas' Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The site comprises a water-filled or water-retaining moat, a characteristic feature of minor aristocratic and manorial settlements from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated homesteads were common throughout the English Midlands during the medieval period, serving both practical and symbolic functions as markers of status and territorial authority. The monument remains archaeologically significant as evidence of settlement patterns and social hierarchy in medieval Worcestershire.
