Great Hall Spinney moat is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Northamptonshire, consisting of a water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a residential structure. The site represents a form of fortified habitation typical of the medieval period, when such moated enclosures served both protective and status-defining functions for landholding families. The moat survives as an archaeological feature of significance, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the region. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to understanding the distribution and character of medieval moated sites across the East Midlands.
