Drakenage Farm moated site is a medieval settlement monument located in Warwickshire, comprising a moated enclosure, fishpond, and associated closes. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a form of rural settlement common to the English Midlands, where the moat provided both defensive capability and status marker for a modest manorial holding. The surviving earthworks include the characteristic water-filled or water-retaining ditch system surrounding the residential platform, together with the fishpond feature which served both practical and economic functions in the medieval domestic economy. The associated closes represent the managed agricultural land parcels that would have supported the farmstead and its inhabitants.
