Upper Barn moat is a medieval earthwork monument located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defended residence typical of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Moated sites of this character were constructed by minor nobility and gentry as symbols of status and to provide practical defence around their domestic and agricultural premises. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological feature and remains an important record of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the region.
