The moated site at Kenney's Farm is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Berkshire. The site comprises a substantial moat defining a residential enclosure, a form of defensive or high-status domestic arrangement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Moated sites of this type were common among the minor gentry and prosperous farming classes in southern England, serving both practical and social functions through their water-filled defensive barriers. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological monument and provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
