Moated site at Bushey Hall Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Hertfordshire. The site comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that once encircled a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of medieval elite settlement in southern England. Such moated sites were common from the twelfth century onwards, though this example likely dates to the medieval period proper. The survival of the moat as an earthwork feature demonstrates the enduring character of medieval land management and domestic fortification in the Hertfordshire landscape.
