Moated site at Moat Farm is a medieval settlement earthwork situated in Worcestershire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a defensive or status-indicating water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform, which represents a common form of elite or manorial settlement in medieval England. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, though occupation often extended beyond these dates. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of medieval land organisation and settlement patterns in the region.
