Garshall moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Staffordshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval settlement protection that was particularly prevalent in central England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the residences of minor gentry or substantial farmers, combining domestic habitation with modest fortification through the surrounding water-filled ditch. The earthwork remains visible as a substantial archaeological feature and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and land use in the region.
