Feckenham manorial moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure that represents the manorial centre of Feckenham, dating to the medieval period. Moated sites of this character typically served as the fortified residences of significant landholders and were common features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of the ditched boundary that once enclosed the manorial complex, though the superstructure and domestic buildings have not survived.
