Moated site and bloomery in Courtbanks Covert is a scheduled ancient monument in Staffordshire comprising evidence of medieval settlement and iron-working activity. The site contains a moated enclosure, characteristic of medieval manor houses and farmsteads from the twelfth century onwards, alongside the remains of a bloomery, an early iron-smelting furnace typical of medieval iron production. The combination of domestic and industrial features at this location indicates medieval exploitation of local iron resources and settlement patterns in the region.
