Moated site, Goodfellows is a medieval moated homestead located in Hertfordshire. The site consists of a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a domestic settlement, representing a common form of elite or substantial peasant residence in medieval England. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, with many established during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries as expressions of status and defensive positioning. The Goodfellows moat survives as an earthwork monument, its form preserving evidence of settlement organisation and land use patterns characteristic of the medieval period in the Home Counties.
