Overview

History & significance

Moated site at Moat Park, New Windsor is a medieval defensive and residential site comprising a substantial water-filled moat surrounding what was formerly a domestic or manorial settlement. The moat survives as an earthwork feature in the landscape near New Windsor in Berkshire, dating to the medieval period when such moated enclosures were characteristic of gentry and minor aristocratic residences. The site represents the physical remains of settlement patterns typical of the Middle Ages, when moats provided both practical defence and a visible marker of social status. Archaeological and topographical study of the site contributes to understanding medieval settlement hierarchy and land use in the Thames Valley region during the later medieval period.
