Moated site at Kenney's Farm is a medieval earthwork monument located in Berkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding what was formerly a residential or manorial enclosure, a form of defensive and status-conferring settlement that became prevalent among the English gentry and minor nobility during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat remains the principal surviving physical feature, preserved as an earthwork despite centuries of agricultural use and development in the landscape surrounding the site. Such moated sites are important archaeological indicators of medieval settlement patterns and the territorial organization of the English countryside.
