Old Court Mound is a moated site located at Old Court in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork comprising a mound and associated moat, typical of medieval domestic fortifications of the 11th to 13th centuries. Such moated sites were characteristic of the period, serving as defended residences for minor nobility and prosperous landowners, and their presence in the landscape reflects the social hierarchy and settlement patterns of medieval England. The site's survival as an earthwork, despite subsequent land use, provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement and land management practices in the county.
