Moated site 180m south west of St James's Church is a medieval defensive enclosure situated in Buckinghamshire. The site consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or administrative structure, typical of the medieval period when such fortifications were common amongst the gentry and minor nobility. The moat represents a modest form of medieval settlement defence, with the water barrier serving both practical and status-affirming functions. Such sites are characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries, though this example's precise dating and original function remain determined by its archaeological record and historical context within the local landscape.
