Moated site 400m north east of New Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a moat, a water-filled defensive ditch that once surrounded a residential structure, characteristic of the medieval period when such features were common amongst the landholding classes. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical and symbolic functions, providing security and demonstrating social status. The survival of the earthwork as an upstanding monument indicates its archaeological value in understanding medieval settlement patterns and domestic fortification in the region.
