Peel Hall moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located at Kingsley in Cheshire, consisting of the earthwork remains of a medieval moated homestead. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been the residential and domestic enclosure of a medieval manor house, representing a form of defensive settlement characteristic of the medieval period. The moat itself survives as a clearly defined earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the water-filled ditch that once enclosed the hall and its associated buildings. This type of moated site was particularly common in the North West of England during the medieval period and provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land management in the Cheshire landscape.
