Moated site at Moat House Farm is a medieval domestic monument located in Staffordshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of aristocratic or gentry residence that developed during the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards. The moat itself would have served both defensive and prestige functions, surrounding the residential platform and associated structures.
