Old Bold Hall moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located at Bold in Lancashire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moat that formerly enclosed a residential complex, representing a form of domestic fortification typical of the medieval period in northern England. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent during the 12th to 16th centuries and served both defensive and status-affirming purposes for landholding families of modest means. The survival of the earthwork at Old Bold Hall, despite subsequent agricultural use of the surrounding landscape, provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land organisation in Lancashire.
