Rock Farm moated site, deserted medieval village and ridge and furrow is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of medieval settlement and agricultural activity located near St Peter and St Paul's Church in Worcestershire. The site consists of a moated enclosure, characteristic of medieval manorial organisation, alongside the field systems of ridge and furrow that testify to the open-field agriculture practised in the medieval period. The deserted settlement elements indicate abandonment, likely following the economic and social disruptions of the late medieval period. These earthwork features, preserved as upstanding or soil-marked remains, constitute significant evidence of the evolution of rural settlement and land use in medieval Worcestershire.
