Moated site 230m south east of St Peter and St Paul's Church is a medieval defensive or residential enclosure located in Somerset. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic feature of moated sites that were constructed primarily during the 12th to 16th centuries across England. Such sites typically served as the domestic centres of minor landholding families or manorial complexes, providing both practical protection and a visual assertion of status within the medieval landscape. The survival of this moat as an archaeological feature makes it valuable for understanding the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval Somerset.
