A moated site immediately north east of Home Farm is a medieval domestic enclosure located in Lincolnshire. The monument consists of a substantial moat surrounding what would have been the residential and domestic quarters of a manorial holding, typical of the medieval period when such water-filled ditches served both defensive and status functions for the gentry and minor nobility. The site dates to the medieval period, when moated homesteads became widespread across England as markers of local authority and social standing. Such monuments provide valuable archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns and the distribution of minor landholding in the English countryside.
