Moated site 480m east of Yeaton Peverey Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Shropshire, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval residential enclosure. The site consists of a substantial moat defining a roughly rectangular or sub-rectangular platform, characteristic of high-status domestic settlements established during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served defensive and status-signalling functions whilst also providing practical water management benefits for domestic and agricultural purposes. The monument represents an important example of medieval settlement hierarchy in the English landscape and contributes to understanding patterns of medieval landholding and habitation in Shropshire.
