Moated site 60m west of Edlaston Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Derbyshire. The monument comprises a moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly surrounded a raised platform or island, a characteristic form of domestic fortification common in medieval England from the 12th century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the centres of manorial estates, providing both practical defence and a visible assertion of lordly status. The site's proximity to Edlaston Hall suggests its integration within the local manorial landscape, though the precise dating and sequence of occupation remain subjects for further archaeological investigation.
