Overview

History & significance

Moated site north of the Moat House is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Berkshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat that would have enclosed a residential or manorial complex, a common form of domestic fortification in medieval England, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served both defensive and status-affirming functions for landholding families of moderate means. The survival of the moat's physical structure provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and agricultural management in the region.
