The moated site at Astwood Court is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Worcestershire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat which once surrounded a domestic or manorial complex, typical of the medieval period when such water-filled defences served both practical and status-affirming functions for landholding families. The site dates from the medieval period, with evidence suggesting occupation during the later medieval centuries. The moat remains the principal surviving physical feature, preserving important archaeological evidence of domestic settlement patterns and land management practices characteristic of medieval Worcestershire.
