Overview

History & significance

Packwood Hall moated site is a medieval enclosed homestead located near Lapworth in Warwickshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding an internal platform, a characteristic form of high-status medieval domestic settlement that emerged in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The moated enclosure would have housed a timber or stone hall with associated buildings, representing the residence of a minor landholding family during the medieval period. The site remained in occupation through the later medieval centuries and has survived as an earthwork monument, providing evidence of the pattern of dispersed settlement and landholding structures that characterised the medieval Warwickshire landscape.
