Chiswick Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Essex, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a common form of aristocratic and gentry residence during the medieval period. Such moated sites were typically constructed from the twelfth century onwards and served both defensive and status-bearing functions for their inhabitants. The physical earthwork survives as a water-filled or partially infilled ditch that once surrounded a residential platform, representing a significant example of medieval domestic settlement archaeology in the Essex landscape.
