Overview

History & significance

Crows Parlour is a moated site located in Cambridgeshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a medieval homestead or minor manor, typical of the settlement patterns established across East Anglia during the medieval period. The moat survives as an earthwork feature defining the former extent of the residential enclosure, and such sites represent important archaeological evidence for the organization of rural medieval settlement and land management. The site dates to the medieval period, though the exact chronology of its occupation and abandonment remains dependent upon archaeological investigation and local documentary evidence.
