Tatton medieval settlement is a scheduled ancient monument in Cheshire comprising archaeological remains spanning multiple periods of occupation and land use. The site encompasses the buried foundations of Tatton Old Hall, a substantial medieval residence, together with associated mill dam infrastructure and traces of the medieval settlement that once flourished in this location. Prehistoric settlement activity is also evidenced within the monument's extent, indicating continuity of habitation across several millennia.
