Moated site at Bellamys farm is a medieval moated enclosure located in Gloucestershire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork comprising a moat that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial settlement, typical of high-status domestic sites of the medieval period. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, serving both defensive and status-signalling functions for their occupants. The survival of the earthwork at Bellamys farm, now a scheduled ancient monument, provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
