The moated site immediately east of the Church of St Peter is a medieval defensive or manorial earthwork located in Worcestershire. Moated sites of this type typically date from the 12th to 16th centuries and served as the enclosed residential compounds of minor gentry or substantial landholders, their water-filled ditches providing both practical drainage and symbolic demarcation of status and property. The site's proximity to the parish church suggests a connection to local landholding families of medieval standing. The earthwork survives as an archaeological monument preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the English countryside.
