Starling's Green moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Essex. The site consists of a substantial moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that enclosed a residential or manorial precinct typical of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were common in Essex and adjacent counties during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving as the fortified centres of minor gentry estates and farmsteads. The survival of the moat at Starling's Green, preserved as an earthwork feature, provides evidence of medieval settlement hierarchy and land management practices in Essex.
