The moated site at Puthall Farm is a medieval defensive or manorial enclosure located in Wiltshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat, characteristic of high-status residential sites of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, which would have surrounded a timber or masonry dwelling and its associated structures. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent in southern England during the medieval period and typically served both defensive and status-demonstrating functions for their occupants. The survival of the moat at Puthall Farm preserves important evidence of the settlement pattern and social hierarchy of medieval Wiltshire.
