Moated site 300m SE of St Chad's Church is a scheduled ancient monument located near Malpas in Cheshire. The site comprises a substantial moat, a characteristic defensive earthwork consisting of a water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform or island, which would have supported a dwelling or small fortified residence. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites were common throughout England from the twelfth century onwards and typically indicate the residence of a minor landowner or local gentry. The survival of the moat's visible earthworks demonstrates the durability of this form of medieval domestic fortification.
