Three moated sites at The Hyde and Lower Hyde is an ancient monument comprising three separate moated enclosures located in Herefordshire. The sites date from the medieval period and represent domestic or manorial settlements of that era, with the moats serving as defensive and boundary features typical of medieval landholding. The three distinct moated sites indicate successive or contemporaneous occupation and land use patterns characteristic of medieval rural settlement in the Welsh Marches region. These earthworks survive as substantial landscape features that provide archaeological evidence for medieval settlement distribution and the organisation of medieval estates in Herefordshire.
