Shenstone Park moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Staffordshire, England. The site comprises a moat enclosing an area of residential occupation, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval manorial settlements dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites were common amongst the gentry and minor nobility of the Midlands during this period, serving both as practical water defences and as visible expressions of status and landholding. The earthwork remains survive as a substantial archaeological feature, preserving evidence of the settlement pattern and social hierarchy of medieval rural society.
