Moated site and associated features is a medieval monument located in Gloucestershire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of the medieval period, typically dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Moated sites of this type served as the fortified residences of minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous merchants, with the surrounding water-filled ditch providing both practical defence and a demonstration of status. The associated features at this location suggest a settlement of some complexity and permanence during the medieval period, though the precise dating and full extent of occupation require further archaeological investigation.
