Darley Hall moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Cheshire, England. The monument comprises the remains of a moat which originally enclosed a residential enclosure, a settlement form characteristic of the medieval period in the North West of England. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served to demarcate and protect the domestic and agricultural core of manorial or gentry holdings. The site represents an important surviving example of medieval settlement archaeology in the region, preserving evidence of the way in which landholding families organised their domestic and productive spaces during the medieval period.
