The moated site immediately south east of St Nicholas's Church is a medieval residential enclosure located near Bledlow in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat which formerly surrounded a domestic settlement, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlement patterns from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically indicate the presence of a manorial holding or substantial farmstead, and this example reflects the organised agricultural and social hierarchy of medieval England. The site's proximity to the parish church suggests its integration within the established medieval settlement framework of the locality.
