Moated site at Church Farm is a medieval defensive settlement located in Gloucestershire. The site consists of a substantial moat, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval residences and minor fortifications dating principally to the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat survives as an earthwork feature surrounding the former building platform, indicating the presence of a substantial dwelling of medieval date. Such moated sites represent an important category of medieval domestic archaeology, particularly common in the English Midlands and South, and this example contributes to understanding local settlement patterns and social hierarchy during the medieval period.
