Camp House moated site, moated outwork and connecting channels is a medieval defensive and residential complex located in Lancashire, England. The monument comprises a substantial moated enclosure with an associated outwork, linked by constructed channels that facilitated water management and communication between the two defended areas. Dating to the medieval period, the site represents a significant example of moated settlement architecture characteristic of northern England, where such earthworks served both practical and defensive functions for elite or manorial occupation. The physical remains, preserved as earthworks, demonstrate the considerable labour investment required to construct and maintain such water-based fortifications during the medieval era.
