Alley's Lane moated site is a medieval monument located in Staffordshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure that represents a form of settlement fortification characteristic of the medieval period, when such water-filled ditches were commonly constructed around residential and manorial complexes throughout England. The moat would have served both defensive and status-indicating functions, typical of minor gentry or substantial farming settlements of the medieval era. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature, preserving evidence of settlement patterns and domestic organisation from this period.
