Peel Hall moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of high-status residential settlements of the 12th to 16th centuries, when such works were constructed by landholding families of considerable standing. The moat, which once held water, survives as an earthen bank and ditch forming an irregular perimeter around the former hall site, representing the physical remains of a domestic stronghold from the medieval period. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the English landscape and serve as archaeological testimony to settlement hierarchy and defensive architecture in medieval times.
