Moated site in Mapperley Park Wood is a medieval moated enclosure located in Derbyshire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding a central platform, a defensive earthwork type characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the domestic and administrative centres of minor medieval landholders, though their precise chronology and social function remain subjects of scholarly investigation. The survival of the earthwork at Mapperley Park Wood provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
