Moat House moated site is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in Shropshire. The site comprises a moated homestead with an associated fishpond, typical of high-status medieval settlement patterns from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself forms a substantial water-filled ditch surrounding the residential platform, whilst the fishpond represents the deliberate management of water resources characteristic of medieval manorial estates. This combination of features indicates the site's occupation by a family of considerable local standing during the medieval period.
