Moated site north of Dannah Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat defining an enclosed residential platform, a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served as the strongholds of minor landholders and gentry across England, combining practical defence with a visible assertion of social status. The Dannah Farm example remains a well-preserved example of this settlement type, with its earthwork remains surviving as a scheduled ancient monument.
