Parsonage Farm moated site is a medieval monument located in Essex, England, and represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a defensive or prestige feature commonly associated with manorial farmsteads and minor gentry residences from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites were prevalent throughout Essex during the medieval period and often functioned as the centres of agricultural estates. The earthwork remains at Parsonage Farm preserve evidence of this medieval settlement pattern and contribute to understanding local manorial history and land use during the medieval period.
