Two moated sites at Brockhurst is a pair of medieval moated enclosures located in Staffordshire. The sites represent earthwork remains of domestic settlement dating to the medieval period, when moated homesteads were a common form of aristocratic and gentry residence across the English Midlands. The two separate moated platforms indicate either sequential occupation of the location or contemporary settlement by related households, a settlement pattern characteristic of medieval rural development. The survival of these earthwork features as upstanding banks and ditches provides archaeological evidence for the medieval settlement history of the Staffordshire landscape.
