Old Bold Hall moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Bold, Lancashire. The site consists of a substantial moat surrounding what was formerly a residential complex, representing a common form of elite domestic settlement in medieval England. Dating to the medieval period, likely from the 13th or 14th century onwards, the moat survives as an important archaeological record of settlement hierarchy and land management practices in north-west England. The monument demonstrates the defensive and status-affirming characteristics typical of moated sites constructed during the later medieval period, when such enclosures were favoured by gentry and minor nobility across England.
