Moated site in Reynold's Orchard is a medieval monument located in Staffordshire, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a form of defensive earthwork common in medieval England, typically associated with manorial or high-status domestic occupation. Such moated sites were most frequently established between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, though they often originated in the earlier medieval period. The presence of a moat—a water-filled ditch surrounding an island or raised platform—would have served both defensive and status-signifying functions for its medieval occupants.
