Duncote Farm moated site is a medieval enclosed farmstead located in Derbyshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive or status-conferring earthwork of the medieval period, which would have surrounded a residential and agricultural complex. Moated sites of this type were established from the twelfth century onwards and remained in use through the later medieval period, serving both as practical water sources and as visible markers of social standing. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its significance as evidence of medieval settlement patterns and rural social organisation in the East Midlands.
