Moated site of Frankley Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The site comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that originally enclosed a residential enclosure, representing a common form of domestic fortification among the medieval gentry and nobility between the 12th and 16th centuries. The moated site indicates the former presence of a hall and its associated domestic buildings, though the structures themselves have not survived. Such moated enclosures served both practical defensive purposes and as status symbols, marking the residence of a family of some standing within the medieval landscape.
