Moated site 200m west of Graylands Copse is a medieval defensive settlement located in Sussex, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a characteristic feature of medieval manorial settlements and minor aristocratic residences that proliferated across southern England from the twelfth century onwards. The moat would have provided both practical defence and a symbolic demonstration of the resident's status and authority. Such sites typically date from the medieval period and often remained occupied or were reused across several centuries, though the specific chronology and extent of occupation at this location would require further archaeological investigation.
