Moated site at Hartpury Court is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Gloucestershire, consisting of a substantial moat surrounding a central platform that once bore domestic structures. The site dates to the medieval period, likely from the 12th or 13th century onwards, and represents a form of fortified residence typical of the period when such moated enclosures provided both status and protection for manorial lords. The moat remains substantially visible as an archaeological feature, defining the outer boundary of the former settlement and indicating the site's importance within the local medieval landscape. Hartpury Court itself developed from or adjacent to this moated precursor, illustrating the continuity of settlement and occupation at this location through succeeding centuries.
