Bush Wood moated site and hollow-way is a medieval monument located in Hertfordshire, comprising a moated enclosure associated with a sunken trackway. The moated site, typically dating to the medieval period, represents domestic settlement activity of a kind widespread across southern England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The hollow-way indicates sustained use of a route through the landscape, likely serving both local communication and possibly longer-distance traffic. Together, the features demonstrate the pattern of medieval land use and settlement organisation characteristic of the Hertfordshire countryside.
