Moated site 250m north west of Elmbrook Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a water-filled or partially water-filled moat enclosing a raised platform, a characteristic form of domestic fortification common in England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated enclosures typically served as the residence of a local landowner or minor noble, combining practical defensive advantages with a visible assertion of status within the landscape. The monument's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the longstanding settlement patterns and social hierarchy of rural medieval England.
