Moated site 170m east of St Mary's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork situated in Huntingdonshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlements dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically enclosed domestic or manorial buildings and served both defensive and status-signalling functions within the medieval landscape. The site's proximity to the parish church indicates its probable association with local landholding families of medieval Huntingdonshire.
