The moated site and two fishponds located 300 metres west of Moorcourt in Hampshire constitute a medieval settlement complex. The moated enclosure, a characteristic feature of later medieval domestic settlement, would have originally served defensive and status functions whilst also providing practical drainage benefits to the surrounding land. The associated fishponds represent the medieval interest in managed aquaculture and food production, a pursuit common among landholding families of the period. Together these elements form an important archaeological record of medieval rural occupation and land use practices in Hampshire.
