Knight's Green moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as an archaeological feature defining the perimeter of what was likely a manorial or high-status residential site. Such moated sites represent important evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land organisation in the English countryside.
