Woodhall Hall moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Lincolnshire, England, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive or status-defining feature of medieval domestic settlements dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a substantial linear earthwork forming an island platform, preserving evidence of the medieval occupation and layout of what was likely a manorial or substantial residential holding. The site represents an important archaeological resource for understanding the settlement patterns and domestic architecture of medieval Lincolnshire.
