Moated site and associated enclosure at Church Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Berkshire. The monument comprises a moat surrounding a central platform, typical of high-status domestic sites of the medieval period, alongside additional enclosure features that suggest agricultural or administrative functions. Such moated sites were characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and often served as the fortified residences of minor nobility or prosperous gentry. The survival of both the moat and its associated earthworks provides evidence of the settlement pattern and land use of medieval Berkshire.
