Overview

History & significance

Moated site 90m west of Terrick House is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Buckinghamshire. The monument consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled moat surrounding a raised platform, a common form of settlement protection and status display among medieval landowners from the 12th century onwards. Such moated sites are typically associated with minor gentry, manorial centres, or substantial farmsteads of the medieval period. The survival of this earthwork demonstrates the persistence of medieval settlement patterns in the Buckinghamshire landscape, though the precise dating and functional history of this particular example would require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
