Ridge Hall moated site and annexe is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval residences, along with an associated annexe that formed part of the wider domestic complex. The moated site dates to the medieval period, reflecting the settlement patterns and defensive or status-defining practices common amongst the gentry and minor nobility of the region during this era. The survival of both the moat and annexe structures provides archaeological evidence for medieval land use and the layout of a significant residential holding in Cheshire.
