Hulme Hall moated site is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding a residential platform, a characteristic feature of minor aristocratic and gentry settlements of the medieval period. The moated earthwork represents a form of domestic fortification that was particularly common in the English Midlands and North West during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving both practical defensive purposes and as a visible marker of social status and land ownership. The preservation of the moat's outline provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of rural estates in this region.
