Moated Site 570m west of Laxton Meadow Farm is a medieval defensive settlement located in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat enclosing an elevated platform, a characteristic defensive feature of the medieval period typical of the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated homesteads served as the residences of minor gentry and substantial peasant landholders, combining domestic occupation with modest fortification. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the locality.
