Moated site of Scarisbrick Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located near the village of Scarisbrick in Lancashire. The site comprises a substantial moat that formerly surrounded a residential dwelling, a common form of domestic fortification in medieval England particularly during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moated enclosure represents a typical example of high medieval settlement hierarchy, indicating the status and resources of its former occupant within the local feudal structure. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the landscape, though the principal building that once stood within the moated precinct has been superseded by later construction.
