Huntington Hall moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of medieval manorial settlements, which typically dates from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat, which would have been water-filled, surrounded a raised platform containing domestic and possibly agricultural structures, reflecting the status and defensive requirements of its medieval occupants. Such moated sites are common throughout the English Midlands and represent an important class of secular medieval settlement evidence, providing archaeological insight into the spatial organisation and social hierarchy of medieval rural communities.
