Dunge moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat defining a roughly rectangular enclosure, characteristic of the moated homesteads that became widespread throughout southern England from the twelfth century onwards. Such monuments typically served defensive and status-signalling functions for the rural gentry and prosperous peasantry during the medieval period. The moat at Dunge remains a visible earthwork feature that preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the county.
