Two moated sites at Brockhurst is a complex of medieval defensive earthworks located in Staffordshire. The site comprises two separate moated enclosures, characteristic of the medieval period when such water-filled ditches served both defensive and status-displaying functions for landholding families. The earthworks represent settlement patterns typical of the medieval and early post-medieval periods in the English Midlands, where moated sites often indicated the presence of manorial or gentry residences. The physical remains survive as ditched enclosures which preserve evidence of medieval land use and social organisation within the local landscape.
