The Mounts, Pachesham Farm is a medieval moated site located in Surrey, England. The monument consists of a substantial rectangular moat with associated internal and external features typical of high medieval settlement patterns, dating from approximately the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites represent the residences of minor gentry and prosperous peasant farmers during the medieval period, and their survival, often waterlogged, provides valuable archaeological evidence of domestic organisation and land management in the English countryside. The site's preservation as an earthwork monument contributes to understanding the distribution and character of medieval rural settlement in Surrey.
