Moated site 700m ENE of Village Farm is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure situated in Huntingdonshire. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming an irregular enclosure, typical of the moated homestead form common throughout medieval England. Such sites generally date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical and status functions, providing protection for the residence and associated agricultural buildings of a substantial landholding family. The site's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of medieval settlement patterns in the Huntingdonshire landscape.
