Devils Den is a medieval moated site located in Kent, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat enclosing an area of approximately one acre, which once defended a medieval homestead or minor manorial dwelling. The moat remains well-preserved and represents a common form of settlement fortification and water management found throughout medieval England, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The site demonstrates the typical domestic and defensive characteristics of middle-ranking medieval settlements, though the specific date of its construction and occupation phases require further archaeological investigation to establish with precision.
