The moated site and associated earthwork enclosures 190 metres south-east of Denver Hall is a medieval defensive and domestic settlement in Norfolk. The monument comprises a substantial moat surrounding a central platform, typical of the high medieval period, with additional earthwork enclosures extending beyond the main moated area that served as annexes or outer courts. Such sites are characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when moats were constructed by landholders of modest to middling status seeking to defend their residences and demesne lands. The surviving earthworks provide evidence of settlement hierarchy and land use patterns in medieval rural Norfolk, contributing to understanding of medieval domestic and manorial organisation in East Anglia.
