Dagnam Park Farm moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located at Noak Hill in the parish of Romford, Essex. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been the residential and agricultural core of a medieval farmstead, representing a form of settlement organisation typical of the medieval period in southern England. Such moated sites, of which Essex contains a particularly rich concentration, served both defensive and drainage functions whilst denoting the status of their occupants as substantial landholders. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and remains a significant indicator of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the locality.
