Moated site south of The Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Leicestershire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat surrounding a raised platform, a characteristic form of high-status residence dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated enclosures served both defensive and status-displaying functions for the gentry and minor nobility of medieval England. The site's survival as an earthwork monument demonstrates the persistence of medieval settlement patterns in the Leicestershire landscape.
