Moated site at Eastcote Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Warwickshire. The monument comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that originally surrounded a residential dwelling, and represents a form of domestic fortification that was particularly prevalent among the English gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, and their construction often indicates the status and resources of their occupants. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement and social hierarchy in the English countryside.
