Park Hall moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Staffordshire. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a form of domestic or manorial settlement common in medieval England, particularly during the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a substantial water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding the former residential platform, representing a characteristic defensive and status-signifying feature of medieval gentry or yeoman settlements. The monument provides archaeological evidence for the organisation and settlement patterns of medieval rural society in the region.
