Moated site 700m north of Ireland's Farm is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Warwickshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat surrounding a raised central platform, a common defensive arrangement for minor lordly or manorial residences in the medieval period. Dating to the medieval era, the moat represents investment in domestic fortification typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when such features provided both practical defence and visible demonstration of status. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and contributes to understanding the settlement pattern and social hierarchy of medieval Warwickshire.
