Moated site 400m north east of Home Farm is a medieval defensive settlement earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of residential fortification common in medieval England from the twelfth century onwards, in which a dwelling or small complex was surrounded by a water-filled ditch. Such moats served both practical defensive purposes and as status symbols for their occupants, typically minor gentry or prosperous farming families. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature marking the layout of this former medieval settlement.
