The moated site 80m west of Cedars Farm is a medieval fortified enclosure located in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a substantial moat which once surrounded a residential or manorial structure, typical of the high medieval period when such water-defended farmsteads served both defensive and status functions. The site preserves earthwork evidence of its former ditched perimeter, which would have provided security and drainage for the occupants. As a recorded medieval moated site, it forms part of the wider distribution of such monuments across southern England, reflecting the prosperity and land management practices of the late medieval era.
