Brackenbury Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork located approximately 1210 metres north-west of Ickenham church in Middlesex. The site comprises the remains of a moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that once surrounded a residential or manorial structure, typical of medieval settlement patterns in the Home Counties. Moated sites of this type were frequently established during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving both practical and status-related functions for their occupants. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of medieval land use and settlement organisation in the Ickenham area.
