Lawn Farm moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located in Staffordshire, comprising a substantial moated enclosure with associated ponds. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, represents a form of domestic settlement and land management typical of the medieval period, indicating the presence of a manorial holding or substantial farmstead during the later medieval centuries. The two ponds associated with the site likely served practical purposes relating to water management, fish farming, or the supply of water to the settlement. The survival of these earthwork features provides evidence of the pattern of medieval settlement and land use across rural Staffordshire.
