Moated site at Moat House is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Worcestershire. The site comprises a moated homestead, a settlement form common in medieval England from the 12th century onwards, in which a dwelling and its associated buildings were surrounded by a water-filled ditch or moat. Such moated sites served both defensive and status-defining purposes for their occupants, typically minor gentry or prosperous farmers. The Moat House example represents the archaeological remains of this domestic settlement type, preserving evidence of medieval land use and social organisation in the county.
