Moated site 140 metres south west of Histon Manor is a medieval moated enclosure located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been a domestic or manorial settlement, typical of the medieval period in eastern England. Such moated sites represent a form of defensive and status-defining earthwork common from the twelfth century onwards, though many were established or modified during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork feature and provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land organisation in the Cambridgeshire landscape.
