Moated site 90m north west of Moat House is a medieval defensive enclosure in Huntingdonshire, England, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site consists of a substantial water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic form of high-status residence dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites were commonplace amongst the minor gentry and prosperous landowners of medieval England, serving both practical defensive functions and as visible expressions of social standing. The survival of the moat in its current form indicates the site's location in an area of suitable ground conditions, though the original domestic buildings that once occupied the central platform have not survived.
