Passmores House moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Essex, immediately south of Todd Brook. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded a domestic or manorial residence, typical of medieval landholding patterns in Essex from the twelfth century onwards. Moated sites of this character were common among minor gentry and prosperous farming families during the medieval period, serving both defensive and status-signalling functions. The earthwork remains at Passmores represent a surviving example of Essex's medieval settlement archaeology, preserving evidence of local social and economic organisation during the medieval centuries.
