The moated site at Old Moat Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Buckinghamshire. The monument consists of a substantial water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch encircling a central platform, a characteristic feature of moated homesteads that served both defensive and status-indicating functions in medieval England. Dating to the medieval period, such sites typically represent the residences of minor gentry or substantial peasant farmers during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The earthwork remains visible as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the Chiltern region.
