Moated site SE of St Peter's Church is a medieval moated enclosure located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial defensive ditch and raised platform characteristic of moated homesteads, a settlement form common throughout medieval England from approximately the 12th century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the residential and agricultural centres of minor gentry or prosperous farming families, with the water-filled ditch providing both practical defence and a visible marker of status. The monument survives as an earthwork feature in the landscape, preserving evidence of medieval domestic occupation and land use patterns in the region.
