Hallsteads moated site is a medieval monument located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of the medieval period, which would have originally surrounded a residential or manorial structure. Moated sites of this type were particularly prevalent in England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving as practical fortifications for minor landholders and providing both defensive advantages and status markers within the medieval landscape. The site remains a significant example of vernacular medieval settlement archaeology in the north of England.
