Moated site 80m south east of Hallwater House is a medieval defensive homestead located in Staffordshire. The monument consists of a water-filled moat enclosing a raised platform or island, a characteristic feature of high-status domestic sites that became widespread in England during the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat would have served both defensive and status-signifying functions, surrounding the residence and associated buildings of a local landowner. Such moated sites represent an important class of medieval settlement archaeology, providing evidence of rural social hierarchy and land organisation in the medieval period.
