Slimbridge moated site is a medieval monument located approximately 70 metres south of The Old Rectory in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of high-status medieval settlements dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. Moated sites of this type typically served as the centres of manorial holdings and reflected the social standing of their occupants through the water-filled ditch surrounding the habitation platform. The Slimbridge example represents an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in the county, preserving evidence of domestic occupation and landscape management from the medieval period.
