The Medieval moated site and earlier earthwork south of Boughton Hall is a scheduled ancient monument located in Surrey, comprising both medieval and prehistoric or early historic archaeological features. The site contains a moated enclosure characteristic of high-status medieval settlement, indicative of occupation during the medieval period, alongside earlier earthwork remains that suggest prior use of the location extending back into prehistory or the early historic period. The survival of both stratigraphic elements at this location provides evidence for continuity or reoccupation of significant sites across multiple periods of English history. The monument's scheduled status reflects its archaeological importance and its contribution to understanding patterns of settlement and land use in medieval Surrey.
