Lower Huxley Hall moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of the medieval period, which would have surrounded a domestic residence or manor house. Such moated sites were particularly common in the northwest of England during the medieval era, serving both practical and symbolic functions for landholding families. The earthwork survives as a notable example of medieval settlement archaeology in the region, preserving evidence of the local social and economic organisation of its period.
