Hoddesdon Park Wood moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of fortification common in medieval England, particularly among the gentry and minor nobility from the twelfth century onwards. The moat itself survives as a substantial water-filled ditch surrounding the residential platform, evidence of the site's importance as a protected domestic settlement during the medieval period. Such moated sites served both practical defensive purposes and as visible symbols of status and territorial control within the medieval landscape.
