Thorntree House moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Staffordshire. The site comprises the remains of a moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that once surrounded a domestic or manorial residence, typical of medieval settlement patterns in the English Midlands. Moated sites of this type were constructed from the twelfth century onwards and represent an important category of archaeological evidence for understanding medieval landholding and settlement hierarchy. The Thorntree House example contributes to the wider archaeological record of moated homesteads in the region, though detailed documentation of its specific chronology and developmental phases would require specialist archaeological assessment.
