Overview

History & significance

Moated site at Hoo Green is a medieval enclosed settlement situated in Suffolk, England, approximately 290 metres north west of Godwin's Place. The monument consists of a moated enclosure typical of high and late medieval settlement patterns in East Anglia, representing a domestic or manorial holding of modest status. Such moated sites characteristically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served as defended or status-marked residences for minor landholders. The physical remains visible today comprise the earthwork traces of the moat itself, which would have provided both practical and symbolic delineation of the site's boundary and the property holder's social standing within the medieval landscape.
