Lower Booth moated site and deserted medieval village is a scheduled ancient monument located in Staffordshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement. The site includes a moated enclosure, characteristic of high-status medieval occupation, alongside field systems and settlement features indicative of a rural community that flourished during the medieval period. The moated element suggests the presence of a manor house or significant residential structure, reflecting the social hierarchy of the locality, whilst the broader village layout demonstrates patterns of domestic and agricultural organisation typical of the period. The abandonment of the settlement, as evidenced by its deserted state, reflects the processes of settlement shift and contraction that affected many English villages from the later medieval period onwards.
