Sherrard's Green moated site is a medieval defensive and residential settlement located in Worcestershire. The monument comprises a roughly rectangular moat surrounding what was formerly a domestic enclosure, a settlement form characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites were constructed by both nobility and substantial landholders across England as a means of securing their dwellings and demesne lands, combining practical defence with a visible expression of status and lordship. The earthworks at Sherrard's Green represent a typical example of this widespread settlement type, with the moat surviving as a substantial landscape feature that defines the former extent of the medieval occupation.
