The moated site immediately adjacent to St Peter's Church is a medieval earthwork monument located in Worcestershire. The site consists of a water-filled or formerly water-filled defensive enclosure, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlement in England, typically dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. The proximity of the moat to the parish church suggests a connection to manorial or baronial occupation, as such earthwork defences often protected the residences of local landholding families during the medieval period. The preservation of this feature as an ancient monument reflects its archaeological significance as evidence of medieval domestic and defensive settlement patterns in the region.
