Margaret's Camp is a moated site located in Gloucestershire, England, comprising a substantial rectangular moat with associated earthwork remains that define a medieval domestic enclosure. The site dates to the medieval period, likely from the 12th to 14th centuries, and represents the defended residence of a minor landowner or gentry household of that era. The moat, which still retains water in places, encloses an area of significant extent and is accompanied by ancillary earthworks including raised internal platforms and external banks, indicating the former presence of timber or stone structures within the defended perimeter. The site survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic fortification in the Gloucestershire countryside.
