Moated site, Little Cokenach is a medieval defensive settlement located in Hertfordshire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that survives as an earthwork, representing the physical remains of a manorial residence or farmstead dating to the medieval period. Such moated sites were characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries across England and typically contained a timber or stone dwelling within their enclosure, serving both residential and defensive purposes for the occupying family. The Little Cokenach moat represents an important example of this widespread form of medieval settlement and land organisation in the county.
