Moated site in Chalkdell Wood, 100m north west of Frith Hill House is a medieval moated homestead located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding an inner platform, a form of domestic enclosure typical of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat itself would have served both defensive and practical purposes, providing water supply and acting as a boundary to the residential precinct. Such sites represent the settlement patterns of the medieval gentry and lesser nobility who established fortified domestic residences across the English countryside during this period.
