Sandon Old Hall moated site is a medieval archaeological monument located in Staffordshire, England, comprising the remains of a moated enclosure that dates from the medieval period. The site consists of a substantial moat, which represents a characteristic defensive and status-bearing feature of medieval domestic architecture, indicating the presence of a residence of some standing during the medieval era. The moated enclosure originally protected a hall and associated structures, though the superstructure has not survived to the present day. The preservation of the moat itself provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement and land-use patterns in the region, contributing to understanding of medieval domestic arrangements and territorial organisation in Staffordshire.
