Moat House moated site is a medieval defensive settlement located in Gloucestershire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure that represents a form of residential stronghold characteristic of the medieval period, when such features served both practical and status-conscious functions for landholding families. The moat itself would have provided a water-filled defensive barrier around the principal dwelling and associated structures within the enclosed area. This monument type became particularly common across England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, reflecting patterns of settlement and land management during the medieval era.
