Littywood moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Staffordshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a form of settlement fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat itself represents a significant investment in domestic defence and status, suggesting occupation by a family of some social standing during the medieval era. Such moated sites were common throughout the English Midlands and often served as the focal point for small manorial holdings, combining practical defensive function with the visible expression of territorial authority.
