Moated site and associated earthworks on Pound Hill, 700m east of Gatwick Stream, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a medieval moated enclosure with surrounding earthwork features. Located in Sussex, the site consists of the characteristic ditch system that once enclosed a residential or defensive structure, typical of moated settlements that proliferated across southern England from the twelfth century onwards. The earthworks visible today represent the physical legacy of medieval land occupation and settlement organisation, though the specific chronology and function of this particular example remain dependent on archaeological investigation and local historical records. Such moated sites reflect both the practical concerns of medieval householders regarding drainage and security, and broader patterns of rural settlement development during the medieval period.
