Moated site, 340m north east of Moorwell Bridge is a medieval defensive or manorial enclosure located in Cumberland. The monument consists of a water-filled ditch forming a roughly rectangular or irregular plan, characteristic of moated sites constructed during the medieval period, typically between the 12th and 16th centuries. Such sites served as the centres of small estates or farms, with the water providing both defensive protection and a status symbol for their occupants. The survival of the moat at this location indicates a site of sufficient importance to warrant this form of enclosure during the medieval period.
