The Mount moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Gloucestershire, consisting of a substantial mound surrounded by a moat, a defensive arrangement characteristic of high-status residences from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The site represents a form of modest fortification typical of the medieval period, when such moated enclosures served both practical and symbolic functions for landholding families. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the county. Such moated sites are now recognised as important archaeological resources for understanding the distribution and development of medieval rural settlement across England.
