Stanley Hall moated site is a medieval enclosed homestead located in Essex, England, dating to the medieval period. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that originally enclosed a domestic residence and its associated outbuildings, representing a form of settlement hierarchy common among minor gentry and substantial yeoman farmers of the region. The moat survives as an earthwork feature, though much of the internal medieval structures have been lost or built over through subsequent land use. Such moated sites are characteristic of medieval Essex and indicate the agricultural prosperity and social organization of the medieval countryside during the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
