Bruera moated site and adjacent field system is a medieval settlement complex located in Cheshire, England. The moated enclosure represents a form of medieval domestic fortification common among the Anglo-Norman gentry and prosperous landholders of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The associated field system demonstrates the agricultural organisation and land use patterns characteristic of the medieval period, providing evidence of how the settlement's occupants managed and exploited the surrounding landscape. Together, the moated site and its field system constitute an important archaeological record of medieval settlement hierarchy and economic organisation in the northwest of England.
