The site comprises a moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly surrounded a central platform or island, which would have supported domestic structures of medieval date. Such moated homesteads are characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, and represent the residences of minor gentry or substantial farmers. The moat at Blackgreves Farm survives as an archaeological monument and provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the defensive or status-conscious architectural preferences of its former inhabitants.
