Holford Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive earthwork feature characteristic of the medieval period that would have surrounded a timber or stone dwelling. Moated sites of this type were particularly common in the Midlands and North West during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, serving both as a practical water source and as a status symbol for landholding families of modest means. The earthworks at Holford Hall survive as a substantial archaeological feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic life in the region.
