Moated site 200m north east of St Nicholas's Church is a medieval defensive or manorial enclosure located near Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled ditch forming a roughly rectangular moat, a common feature of high-status medieval settlements and administrative centres from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the focal point of a manor, providing both practical protection and visual demonstration of the occupant's social standing. The site remains substantially preserved and represents an important example of medieval domestic settlement archaeology in the Chilterns region.
