Old Park Farm moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Shropshire. The site consists of a substantial moat forming an irregular quadrilateral enclosure that formerly surrounded a residential and agricultural complex, typical of medieval manorial organisation in the English Midlands. Dating from the medieval period, the moated enclosure represents a form of domestic settlement that was particularly common between the 12th and 16th centuries, serving both defensive and status-marking functions for a minor landholding family. The earthwork survives as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
