Hartley Court moated site and enclosure is a medieval monument located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of the medieval period, which would have served to protect a dwelling and its associated buildings. The moated site represents the residential and domestic arrangements of the medieval period, likely dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when such water-surrounded enclosures were common amongst gentry and substantial landholders in southern England. The monument survives as an important archaeological resource for understanding medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of medieval domestic space in the county.
