Moated site 300m SE of St Chad's Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cheshire. The monument consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial site, typical of the medieval period from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic functions, providing water-based defence and demonstrating the status and authority of their occupants within the feudal hierarchy. The survival of the earthwork structure indicates the site's archaeological significance for understanding medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
