Moated site 90m north west of Moat House is a medieval defensive enclosure situated in Huntingdonshire. The monument consists of a moated homestead, a settlement form characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards, when such water-filled defensive ditches surrounded the dwellings and agricultural buildings of manorial lords and substantial farmers. The site's proximity to Moat House, which preserves the name tradition of such features, indicates its local historical importance within the medieval settlement pattern of the region. The earthwork remains of the moat and its associated platforms represent evidence of medieval land management, social hierarchy, and domestic settlement organisation typical of rural Huntingdonshire during the medieval period.
