Margaret's Camp is a moated site located in Gloucestershire, England, representing a form of medieval domestic settlement that was defended or demarcated by water-filled ditches. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of a moat and associated structures dating to the medieval period, likely constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries when such fortified or semi-fortified residences were characteristic of the English landscape. Moated sites of this type typically functioned as the centres of manorial estates, serving both practical and status-affirming purposes for their inhabitants. The survival of Margaret's Camp as visible earthworks makes it significant for understanding local medieval settlement patterns and the evolution of domestic architecture in the region.
