Cross Hall moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lancashire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that formerly enclosed a residential complex, typical of the moated homesteads constructed by minor gentry and substantial landholding families during the medieval period. The monument dates principally to the thirteenth or fourteenth century, reflecting the period of prosperity and defensive consciousness among the rural elite. The moat survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic fortification in the North West of England.
