Belgrave moated site and medieval garden is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cheshire, England, comprising the remains of a medieval residential complex protected within a moated enclosure. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the defensive and domestic arrangements typical of minor gentry or yeoman landholdings of that era. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, would have provided both practical protection and a visible expression of status, whilst the associated garden remains indicate the horticultural practices and land use of the medieval household. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its potential to illuminate medieval settlement patterns and the daily life of non-elite rural communities in the region.
