Moated site 1km south west of Rockingham Castle is a medieval earthwork monument situated in Northamptonshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, representing a form of domestic or manorial settlement typical of the medieval period, when such water-filled defences served both practical and status-affirming purposes. The monument's proximity to Rockingham Castle, a significant Norman stronghold, suggests potential administrative or economic connections to the castle's medieval estate. The site's earthwork remains survive as a testament to medieval settlement patterns in the region, though its precise chronological range and original function require consideration alongside the broader landscape context of castle and village settlement in Norman and post-Norman Northamptonshire.
