Moat Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a common form of medieval domestic settlement and defensive homestead that flourished during the 12th to 16th centuries. Moated sites of this type typically served the residences of minor gentry or prosperous farmers, providing both practical benefits such as water supply and fish ponds, and a degree of status and security. The earthwork survives as a well-defined monument, with its ditches and banks preserving evidence of the medieval occupation and land use patterns characteristic of medieval rural Shropshire.
