Moated site 210m south east of Brizes is a medieval defensive earthwork situated in Essex, England. The site comprises a water-filled or water-retaining moat surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic form of domestic fortification common in England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically functioned as residences for minor gentry or substantial farming families, providing both practical water management and a measure of status and defence. This particular example is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and represents the substantial medieval settlement pattern that characterised the Essex countryside.
