Moated site 450m south east of Overwater Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of settlement fortification common in medieval England, particularly during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically consist of a substantial water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform or island, which would have contained domestic or agricultural buildings and provided both practical drainage and a degree of physical security. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and remains of archaeological interest as evidence of medieval land management and settlement patterns in the Lake District region.
