Moated site, Trilloes Court Wood is a medieval moated enclosure located in Herefordshire, England. The site comprises a rectangular or sub-rectangular moated platform, characteristic of the moated homesteads that were prevalent throughout the English Midlands during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the defended residences of minor gentry or substantial yeoman farmers, with the water-filled ditch providing both practical and symbolic demarcation of the occupant's status and property boundary. The monument survives as an earthwork feature within woodland, preserving evidence of domestic occupation and settlement patterns in medieval Herefordshire.
