The moated site northwest of Tathwell Cottage is a medieval earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises a substantial moat that once enclosed a residential or manorial holding, a settlement pattern characteristic of the medieval period in England, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served both defensive and status-conferring functions for minor gentry or substantial farmers. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature, despite centuries of agricultural activity, indicates the scale and durability of the original construction.
