Cross Hall moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Lancashire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive or status feature of medieval manor houses and farmsteads, typically dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself survives as an earthwork, defining the perimeter of what would have been an enclosed residential or agricultural complex. Such moated sites represent important evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of land use in the English countryside during the medieval period.
