Overview

History & significance

The moated site at Ingarsby is a medieval residential enclosure located in Leicestershire. The monument consists of a substantial moat defining a roughly rectangular platform that once supported a manorial dwelling and associated outbuildings, typical of the moated homestead form common in the East Midlands during the medieval period. The site dates to the medieval period, likely established between the 12th and 14th centuries, and represents the physical remains of a settlement that was subsequently depopulated, probably during the enclosure movement of the early modern period. The moat survives as an important archaeological feature preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the region.
