Moated site, 230m west of St Michael's Church is a medieval earthwork monument located in Warwickshire. The site comprises a substantial moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that once enclosed a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of the later medieval period in England. Such moated sites were commonly established from the twelfth century onwards, serving as the domestic seats of minor landholding families and providing both practical defence and a demonstration of status within the feudal hierarchy. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological landscape feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and agricultural organisation in the region.
