The moated site immediately east of the Church of St Peter is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The monument consists of a substantial moat, a characteristic water-filled ditch that would have enclosed a residential or manorial precinct during the medieval period. Such moated sites were common features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, serving as status symbols and practical defences for the dwellings and outbuildings of minor nobility or gentry. The site's proximity to the parish church suggests an association with local landholding interests of medieval date.
