Swineyard Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive or prestige feature characteristic of medieval manorial settlements in the English Midlands and North West. The moat survives as a substantial earthwork defining the former residential or administrative precinct, likely dating to the medieval period, though the precise chronology of construction and occupation requires archaeological investigation. Such moated sites typically served the minor gentry or substantial farming families and reflect settlement patterns and land management practices of the later medieval centuries.
