The moated site north of Dannah Farm is a medieval defensive and residential enclosure located in Derbyshire. The monument comprises a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch forming a rectangular or near-rectangular enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of the medieval period commonly associated with manorial settlements and minor nobility. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries, with the majority dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, and served both as status symbols and practical fortifications for their occupants. The survival of the ditch system at Dannah Farm indicates the site's archaeological potential for understanding local settlement patterns and medieval land use in Derbyshire.
