Moated site 700m ENE of Village Farm is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Huntingdonshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat that once surrounded a residential or manorial dwelling, a common defensive feature of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards. Such moated sites typically indicate the presence of a substantial landowner or minor noble and served both practical defensive and status-related functions within the medieval settlement hierarchy. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and represents an important archaeological record of medieval domestic and social organisation in the East Midlands region.
