Dunge moated site is a medieval earthwork monument situated in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of medieval manorial settlements and small fortified dwellings, typically dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Moated sites of this type served as the focal points of rural estates, providing both practical defence and a visible assertion of status and landholding. The physical remains at Dunge preserve the ditch system that once surrounded a raised platform, evidence of the medieval agricultural and social organisation of the Wiltshire countryside.
