Moated site 270m south east of Middleton Farm is a medieval defensive homestead located in Warwickshire, England. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch enclosing a residential platform, a characteristic form of aristocratic or prosperous peasant settlement common in the English Midlands from the twelfth century onwards. The moat served both practical functions of water supply and waste disposal and symbolic functions of status and security. Such sites, when excavated and studied, have provided valuable evidence of domestic life, material culture, and land use patterns during the medieval period.
