The moated site immediately west of the Church of St Mary is a medieval earthwork monument located in Worcestershire. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and represent the domestic enclosures of minor gentry or substantial farmers, distinguished by water-filled or water-retaining ditches surrounding residential compounds. The monument's proximity to the parish church suggests its occupation by a family of some local standing during the medieval period. Such sites are valued archaeological records of settlement patterns and land use in medieval England, though their specific histories and dating depend upon archaeological investigation and documentary evidence particular to each location.
