Peel Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Kingsley, Cheshire, consisting of the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure. The site dates from the medieval period and represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when such moated sites were common amongst the gentry and lesser nobility of northwest England. The moat itself survives as a substantial earthwork feature defining the original residential precinct, indicating the former presence of a hall or manor house at its centre, though the superstructure no longer remains visible. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument and constitutes an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns in the Cheshire landscape.
