Moated site at Sodington Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The site consists of a substantial moat forming an irregular enclosure, characteristic of minor aristocratic or manorial settlements of the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served to demarcate and defend the residential and agricultural focus of a landed estate. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land organisation in the Midlands region.
