Coldharbour Moat is a medieval moated site located in Hertfordshire. The monument consists of a substantial rectangular moat surrounding the former position of a dwelling, a settlement form typical of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Moated homesteads of this type served both defensive and status-indicating functions, providing protection for high-status residences and their associated farmland during the medieval period. The site remains visible as an earthwork feature and represents evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the county.
