Pool Hall moated site is a medieval defensive enclosure located in Shropshire. The monument comprises a moat, which survives as an earthwork feature characteristic of the domestic fortifications constructed during the medieval period. Such moated sites were typical of the 12th to 16th centuries, serving to protect high-status residences and their associated agricultural land. The site's survival as an earthwork makes it an important record of medieval settlement and land use patterns in the region.
