Dodford Priory moated site is a medieval monastic settlement located in Worcestershire, England, with archaeological evidence indicating occupation from the medieval period. The site is characterised by a substantial moat that formerly enclosed the priory buildings, representing a defensive or status-affirming landscape feature typical of high-status medieval religious establishments. The moated enclosure preserves important archaeological deposits that document the physical layout and development of the priory complex, though much of the structural evidence now survives only as earthworks. The site's designation as a scheduled monument reflects its significance as a record of medieval monastic life and the architectural traditions of enclosed religious communities in the West Midlands region.
