The Pleasance moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Warwickshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive or prestige feature characteristic of medieval manorial settlements, typically dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as an archaeological earthwork that defines the former extent of a high-status residential or administrative complex. Such moated sites represent important evidence for the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval rural England, with the water-filled or water-edged enclosure denoting the dwelling place of a person of some standing.
