Rock Farm moated site, deserted medieval village and ridge and furrow is a scheduled ancient monument located in Worcestershire that preserves substantial evidence of medieval settlement and agricultural practice. The site comprises a moated enclosure indicative of high-status occupation, alongside earthwork remains of a deserted medieval village and extensive ridge and furrow field systems that testify to open-field agriculture. These features collectively date to the medieval period and represent the typical settlement hierarchy and land use patterns of medieval England. The survival of these earthwork remains, situated approximately one hundred metres south-east of St Peter and St Paul's Church, provides important archaeological evidence for understanding the development and subsequent abandonment of medieval rural settlement in the region.
