Averham moat and enclosure

The National Heritage List for England records Averham moat and enclosure as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Averham moat and enclosure is a scheduled medieval monument, likely dating to the early medieval period, featuring earthwork remains associated with a defended homestead or manorial site. While not traditionally classified as a fairy fort, such enclosures in rural landscapes were sometimes later linked to local folklore, including beliefs in hidden or supernatural inhabitants.
