Templars' site at Moat Farm, Hedgerley is a medieval moated enclosure located in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding what was likely a substantial residential or administrative structure, reflecting the pattern of settlement and land management characteristic of the Templar order's English properties during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature, with the moat itself representing the primary physical evidence of occupation and the defensive or demarcating function typical of such medieval establishments. The site's association with the Knights Templar, before their suppression in the early fourteenth century, indicates its significance within the broader network of Templar holdings and preceptories in southern England.
