Moated site at Fairfield Court is a medieval moated enclosure located in Worcestershire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding a former residential platform, a characteristic defensive and status-signalling feature of the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in the English Midlands during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving as fortified residences for minor gentry and substantial landowners. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological monument preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the region.
