Moated site 480m east of Yeaton Peverey Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Shropshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, a form of fortification characterised by water-filled or water-retaining ditches surrounding a raised platform or island, typical of medieval manor houses and small fortified settlements from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The site's precise dating and original function remain subjects of local archaeological interest, though its morphology places it within the established tradition of moated sites that were distributed across the English Midlands during the medieval period. The earthwork survives as an upstanding landscape feature, preserving evidence of settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by medieval landholders in this region of Shropshire.
