Tinker's Lane moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Staffordshire, England. The monument consists of a rectangular moated enclosure typical of the domestic settlements that proliferated across the English Midlands during the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Moated sites of this character served as the defended residences of minor gentry and substantial farmers, with the water-filled ditch providing both practical defensive capability and a marker of social status. The site remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding the pattern of medieval rural settlement and land use in this region.
