Moated site 360m north of Joanshill Farm is a medieval defensive or manorial enclosure located in Herefordshire. The site comprises a substantial moat, likely dating to the 12th to 14th centuries, which would have surrounded a residential or administrative structure typical of minor gentry or monastic holdings of that period. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the medieval English countryside and served both practical and symbolic functions, providing water-based defence and demonstrating the status of their occupants. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork and remains an important record of medieval settlement and land use patterns in the county.
