Walgrave moated site is a medieval residential monument located in Northamptonshire. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a defensive earthwork feature characteristic of high-status medieval dwellings of the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a substantial ditch surrounding the former homestead, indicating the settlement's medieval occupation and the social standing of its inhabitants. Such moated sites are common across the Midlands and represent an important category of medieval domestic archaeology, preserving evidence of rural settlement patterns and medieval land management.
