Slimbridge moated site is a medieval moated enclosure situated approximately seventy metres south of The Old Rectory in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises a moat that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial complex, representing a common form of medieval settlement defence and status demonstration from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites are characteristic of medieval landholding patterns in the English Midlands and Welsh Marches, where they typically served as the focal points of small estates and farming communities. The Slimbridge example survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the settlement structure and land use patterns of medieval Gloucestershire.
