Moated site at Tardebigge Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The site consists of a substantial moat, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval manorial settlements dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated enclosures typically surrounded the residence and associated buildings of minor landholders and formed part of the settlement pattern of the English countryside during the medieval period. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological monument demonstrating the medieval organisation of rural estates and settlement hierarchy in the West Midlands.
