Crows Parlour, moated site, Fowlmere

History of the Crow's parlour

Scheduled monument

The peak period during which moated sites were built was between about 1250 and 1350 and by far the greatest concentration lies in central and eastern parts of England.

Despite some infilling of the ditches, the moated site known as `Crows Parlour’ remains a well preserved example of a small, single island type which retains evidence for the system of water management. The island will contain the buried foundations of buildings, the bridge and other structures related to the period of occupation.
