Moated site 410m south east of Maukins is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial moat enclosing a residential platform, a characteristic form of manorial fortification common in medieval England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the strongholds of minor nobility or substantial landowners, combining domestic and defensive functions within a water-filled enclosure. The monument represents the medieval settlement hierarchy and landholding patterns of the region, though detailed documentation of its specific chronology and associated buildings remains limited.
