Overview

History & significance

Moated site 250m north west of Elmbrook Farm is a medieval defensive settlement located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled moat enclosing an area of domestic occupation, a form of manorial residence or fortified farmstead characteristic of medieval England, particularly common between the 12th and 16th centuries. The moat represents both a practical defensive feature and a symbol of status and territorial control, protecting the homestead and its associated buildings. The survival of the moat's earthwork, despite subsequent land use, provides important archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns and domestic arrangements in the Buckinghamshire landscape.
