Barrow Old Hall moated site is a medieval domestic monument located in Great Sankey, Lancashire. The site comprises a moated enclosure that served as the defended homestead of a substantial medieval household, reflecting the status and resources of its occupants during the medieval period. The moat survives as an earthwork feature defining the perimeter of the former residential complex, though the structures that once stood within it have largely disappeared. Such moated sites represent a characteristic form of medieval settlement and land organisation across northern England, particularly among the gentry and minor nobility seeking to establish secure, prestigious residences in the medieval landscape.
