Reed Hall moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Reed, Hertfordshire. The site consists of a substantial moated enclosure, a characteristic form of aristocratic or manorial settlement that became widespread in medieval England. The moat itself survives as a water-filled or partially water-filled depression marking the perimeter of what was likely a high-status residential complex dating to the medieval period. Such moated sites typically served both defensive and status-displaying functions, and their survival as earthwork monuments provides important evidence for the distribution and character of medieval settlement patterns in the Home Counties.
