The moated site 500m south east of Creamore Cottage is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Shropshire. The site comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic form of manorial residence dating from the medieval period, typically between the 12th and 16th centuries. Moated sites of this type served as the fortified centres of minor landholding families and functioned as both residential and agricultural focal points within their surrounding land holdings. The monument remains visible as an earthwork and represents an important record of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the English countryside.
