Walgrave moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Northamptonshire, England. The site consists of a substantial moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval fortification that served both defensive and status purposes among the minor gentry and landholding classes during the medieval period. The moat, which would originally have been water-filled, survives as a visible earthwork feature and represents a common type of settlement fortification found across central England from the twelfth century onwards. The site contributes to understanding medieval settlement patterns and the domestic arrangements of non-elite landholders in the East Midlands region.
