Aubrey's Farm moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Gloucestershire, consisting of a substantial water-filled or water-retaining ditch system enclosing a residential platform. The monument dates to the medieval period, likely established between the 12th and 16th centuries, when such moated homesteads were constructed by landholding families of modest to middling status across England. The site preserves evidence of the domestic and agricultural organisation of medieval rural settlement, with the moat serving both defensive and prestige functions. The earthwork remains visible as a distinctive topographic feature and represents an important survival of medieval vernacular settlement archaeology in the county.
