Moated site 90m south of Bendyshe Farm is a medieval earthwork monument located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that enclosed a residential or administrative complex, typical of the high medieval period in England. Such moated sites were commonly constructed between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries and served landholding families of varying social status, from minor gentry to wealthy merchants. The survival of the moat at this location represents an important example of medieval settlement pattern and land management practice in the East Anglian landscape.
