Speke Hall moated site is a medieval domestic monument located in Liverpool, Lancashire, comprising the remains of a moated enclosure that once surrounded a substantial timber-framed hall. The site dates from the fifteenth century and represents a significant example of late medieval settlement patterns characteristic of the North West region. The moat itself, though partly infilled, remains the principal surviving feature and indicates the social status and defensive concerns of its medieval inhabitants. The associated hall structures have been substantially altered and rebuilt in later centuries, with the present house incorporating sixteenth-century additions and later modifications, though the underlying medieval plan and moat configuration preserve important evidence of its original medieval character.
