Moated site at Burnhill Green is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Staffordshire. The site consists of a substantial moated enclosure, a defensive or status-indicating feature characteristic of medieval manorial establishments dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat, which survives as a water-filled or partly silted ditch, would have enclosed a residential or agricultural complex, though the internal structures are not clearly visible as surface features. Such moated sites are common in the Midlands and typically represent the homes of minor gentry or substantial landholding families during the medieval period.
