Clayton Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Lancashire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moat that once surrounded a residential enclosure, representing a form of elite domestic settlement common in medieval England. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, dates to the medieval period and indicates the presence of a substantial dwelling of some social standing. Such moated sites typically functioned as the residences of minor nobility or prosperous landowners and served both defensive and status-affirming purposes within the medieval settlement landscape.
