Moated site and field system 380m south of Moat Farm, Wollerton Wood is a medieval settlement complex in Shropshire comprising a moated enclosure and associated field boundaries. The moated site itself represents a form of medieval domestic settlement typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when such water-surrounded homesteads served both defensive and status-marking functions for minor gentry and substantial landholders. The accompanying field system reflects medieval or early post-medieval agricultural organisation of the surrounding landscape. The monument survives as earthwork remains and represents an important record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the county.
