Ardagie Homestead Moat is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a substantial moated enclosure typical of high medieval settlement patterns in central Scotland, where such features served to demarcate and protect the residences of minor landholders and free tenants. Dating to the medieval period, the homestead moat exemplifies the vernacular defensive architecture employed by the rural gentry and substantial farmers of late medieval Scotland. The site remains visible as an earthwork feature and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and land use in medieval Perthshire.
