Overview

History & significance

The site consists of a substantial moat surrounding what would have been a residential enclosure, a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites served both defensive and status-display functions for the gentry and nobility, and their preservation as earthwork remains provides valuable evidence for the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval Hampshire.
