Moated site 200m south east of St Mary's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cambridgeshire. The site consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or manorial dwelling, representing a common form of domestic fortification in medieval England. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites were typically constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries and served to protect the inhabitants and their property whilst also demonstrating status and social standing. The survival of the earthwork provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Cambridgeshire region.
