Dodleston Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England, consisting of the earthwork remains of a moat that once surrounded a domestic or manorial residence. The site dates to the medieval period, with occupation evidence suggesting use from at least the 13th century onwards. The moat survives as a substantial landscape feature, defining the former extent of the hall's immediate precinct and indicating the status and defensive character typical of moated sites across the northwest Midlands during this era. Such moated enclosures were common amongst the gentry and substantial landholders of medieval England and served both practical and symbolic functions within the medieval settlement hierarchy.
