Three moated sites at The Hyde and Lower Hyde is a complex of medieval moated enclosures located in Herefordshire. The sites comprise three separate moated homesteads dating to the medieval period, representing the settlement patterns and domestic arrangements of rural medieval communities in the region. Moated sites of this type typically served both defensive and status-affirming functions, with the water-filled ditches providing protection for timber or stone buildings and associated agricultural facilities. The three examples at this location demonstrate the distribution of dispersed settlement across the medieval landscape of Herefordshire, a county particularly rich in surviving moated archaeological sites.
