The Medieval moated site at Share Farm is a monument consisting of a substantial water-filled moat enclosing an irregularly shaped enclosure, situated in Kent. The site dates from the medieval period and represents a defensive domestic settlement of the kind characteristic of the later medieval countryside, when such water-filled enclosures served both practical and status-bearing functions for landholding families. The moat remains substantially intact as an archaeological feature, preserving evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns within the county. Such moated sites are recognised as important indicators of medieval social hierarchy and the distribution of rural settlement across the English landscape.
