Foulk Stapleford moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive and prestigious feature characteristic of minor gentry and substantial landholding families during the medieval period. The moat, now visible as earthen banks and ditches, dates to the medieval era and represents a form of settlement associated with the later medieval landscape of the north-west of England. Such moated sites typically enclosed residential and domestic structures and served both practical and symbolic functions, distinguishing the status and property rights of their occupants within the feudal hierarchy.
