Moat and hut circle at Glen Parva is a medieval and prehistoric monument located in Leicestershire, England. The site comprises two distinct phases of occupation: a prehistoric hut circle and a later medieval moat, indicating sustained human use of the location across multiple periods. The moat represents a typical form of medieval defensive or status-signalling earthwork, whilst the hut circle evidence testifies to earlier Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement at this location. The survival of both features within a single scheduled monument reflects the palimpsest of occupation that characterises many English archaeological sites.
