Reaseheath moated site and two annexes is a medieval fortified settlement located in Cheshire. The monument comprises a substantial moated enclosure with two associated annexes, representing a form of domestic and agricultural organisation characteristic of the high medieval period. The moated layout served both defensive and water-management functions, common to many elite and gentry residences of the 12th to 16th centuries in the English Midlands and North West. The site's surviving earthwork remains provide evidence of medieval land use and settlement hierarchy within the wider Cheshire landscape.
