Maple Hayes moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Staffordshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious domestic settlement that was characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards. Moated sites of this type typically served as the residences of minor gentry or substantial farmers, providing both protection and a visual demonstration of status within the local landscape. The earthworks at Maple Hayes remain visible as soil banks and water-filled or partially water-filled ditches that define the former perimeter of the residential complex.
