Moated site NW of Tathwell Cottage is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lincolnshire. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled ditch forming a rectangular or near-rectangular defensive perimeter, characteristic of high-status residential sites of the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served as the strongholds of minor nobility, knights, or substantial landowners. The survival of the water-filled ditch demonstrates the monument's archaeological integrity and its potential to yield evidence concerning medieval settlement patterns and domestic life in the East Midlands.
