Welcome from
Kings Moat Residents' Association
Kings Moat Residents' Association is run by residents, elected by residents to help residents.
We are a group of dedicated volunteers working to make Kings Moat a thriving, friendly community where neighbours know each other and help each other. Through social gatherings and events, we aim to transform our new estate into a true home for everyone.
We actively represent residents’ interests to the developers who are shaping Kings Moat over the coming years and we work with local councils and neighbours to ensure King Moat becomes the best place to live.
We hope this website will help turn our new estate into a home for us all, where neighbours know each other and help each other
We believe that participation is key to creating an engaging community. Whether it’s through organising community events, enhancing communal areas or addressing residents’ needs, we strive to ensure every voice is heard and every idea has a place.
Join us as we embark on this journey to not only improve our environment but also to forge lasting friendships that enrich our lives. Together, we can make Kings Moat a truly exceptional place to live!
Kings Moat
Monument Of Archaeological Treasure
Cheshire Historic Environment Record
HER Number: 1973 - MCH1407
Site Name: Moated site 180m West of Fir Tree Farm
Record Type: Monument
Medieval Moated site consists of earthwork platform 63m by 47m, defined within a dry moat 15m wide and up to 1.5m deep, with a possible entrance causeway across the south-east arm. Still considerable bank and ditch on the west and south, but much spread by continuous ploughing.
This medieval moated site is thought to have been the site of the manor house of Marlston, but it is not depicted or shown as occupied on early maps, thus suggesting early abandonment.
In 2015 a geophysical survey of the moat and its surrounding area detected the ditch of the moat and also anomalies within the moat which may represent buried building remains. An archaeological evaluation in 2019 took place on land to the west of Wrexham Road, just to the south-east of the moat.
The excavation recovered a small amount of medieval pottery, along with a glazed floor tile which may indicate the presence of a high status building close by, potentially significant given the proximity of the moat
a scheduled monument is a nationally important archaeological site or historic building, given protection against unauthorised change
Kings Moat is within the parish boundary of Dodleston Parish Council.
