Moated site in Prestley Wood is a medieval earthwork monument located approximately 800 metres north-east of Cartwright's Farm in Huntingdonshire. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive or status-bearing feature characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in England, particularly prominent from the twelfth century onwards. The earthworks survive as physical evidence of medieval land use and settlement organisation in this part of Huntingdonshire, though the specific date range and details of occupation remain to be established through archaeological investigation. Such moated sites typically served as the residences of minor nobility, wealthy merchants, or substantial landholders during the medieval period.
