Thundridgebury moated enclosure is a medieval settlement site in Thundridge, Hertfordshire, comprising a substantial moat surrounding an area of former habitation alongside the parish church of St Mary and All Saints. The moated enclosure, dating to the medieval period, represents a form of domestic fortification typical of high-status settlement in the English countryside, whilst the associated remains of Thundridgebury House indicate sustained occupation and development across successive centuries. The church, with its adjacent graveyard, forms an integral part of this historic landscape, reflecting the close relationship between ecclesiastical and secular settlement in medieval communities.
