Castle Rough is a medieval moated site located in Kent, England. The monument consists of a mound and associated defensive earthworks typical of early medieval fortifications, with the characteristic water-filled moat defining its perimeter. Dating to the medieval period, the site represents a form of domestic and defensive architecture common amongst lesser nobility and landholding classes in England during the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. The survival of its earthwork features provides archaeological evidence of small-scale feudal settlement and the distribution of fortified residences across the Kent landscape.
