History & significance

The moated site and associated field system 240m south of Panson Farm is a medieval monument situated in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure of typical medieval domestic character, likely dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, accompanied by field boundaries and systems indicative of contemporary agricultural practice. The moat itself would have served both defensive and status-bearing functions typical of medieval gentry settlements, while the surrounding field patterns provide evidence of the settlement's economic base and land management practices. The monument represents the settlement archaeology of a minor medieval holding and contributes to understanding of dispersed habitation and land use patterns in the medieval Shropshire countryside.
