The moated site and section of hollow way 200 metres south west of St Michael's Church, Stewkley, is a medieval monument comprising the earthwork remains of a moat and an associated sunken trackway. The moat represents the defensive or status-defining enclosure of a medieval settlement, likely dating from the 12th to 16th centuries, whilst the hollow way indicates a routeway that has been worn down through prolonged use over several centuries. The survival of these features in earthwork form demonstrates the agricultural and settlement patterns characteristic of medieval Buckinghamshire, with the moat particularly suggesting the presence of a substantial medieval dwelling or manorial complex. Both elements contribute to understanding the medieval topography and land use of the Stewkley area.
