Moated site, Camlet Moat, Moat Wood is a medieval earthwork monument located in Moat Wood near Enfield in Middlesex. The site consists of a substantial moat surrounding a raised platform or island, representing the defensive and residential arrangement typical of high-status medieval settlements from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat structure itself survives as a visible depression in the landscape, indicating the former water-filled ditch that would have enclosed a domestic or manorial complex. Such moated sites are characteristic of the medieval period and often indicate the location of a knight's residence or minor manor house, though the specific history and occupancy of Camlet Moat remains part of the broader pattern of medieval settlement in the Thames Valley region.
