Rock moated site and medieval village

Rock in medieval times is known to have been larger than it now is: in 1328, Henry de Ribbesford, who held Rock, had a grant of a weekly market and of a yearly fair on the feast of St Margaret and two days following. The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Rock dates from the 12th century, with additions during the 14th century and restoration in the late 19th century. ==Earthworks==

The moated enclosure lies immediately south-east of the church. It measures north to south and west to east; the ditch is about deep with a bank on its outer edge. Halfway along the west side is an original entrance wide. The space enclosed is about ; the uneven ground there indicates that there are buried features. Adjacent to the north-east is the site of a medieval settlement; it has been ploughed in recent times, but evidence remains of streets, orientated north-west to south-east, and homesteads of the village. ==See also==
