Moated site 300m north-east of Potterne Park Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically consisted of a central platform surrounded by water-filled ditches, often serving as the focal point of a manorial holding or the residence of a minor landowner. The earthworks survive as landscape features and represent an important record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the English countryside.
