Moated site at Ingarsby is a medieval defensive earthwork situated in Leicestershire. The monument consists of a substantial moat surrounding a residential platform, representing a form of settlement fortification characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries. The site is associated with the deserted medieval village of Ingarsby, which was abandoned during the period of enclosure, and the moated homestead would have served as the residence of a substantial landowner or minor nobleman. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of medieval domestic settlement patterns in the East Midlands.
