Old Moat House Medieval Moat is a scheduled ancient monument located in Bold, Lancashire, consisting of a well-preserved medieval moated homestead. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat with associated earthwork features typical of the 13th to 16th centuries, a period when such enclosures were constructed by minor gentry and substantial landholders throughout the North West.
