Hankins Moated Site, Roe Green is a medieval moated enclosure located in Hertfordshire. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled moat defining a roughly rectangular domestic precinct, typical of high-status rural settlements of the medieval period. Moated sites of this character were generally constructed between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, serving as defended or semi-defended residences for landholding families of modest gentry or substantial peasant status. The monument survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the English countryside.
