Wynters Armourie is a moated site located in Essex, England, dating to the medieval period. The site consists of a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a residential or manorial settlement, a characteristic form of high-status occupation from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The earthwork survives as a prominent topographical feature, preserving evidence of medieval land management and settlement hierarchy. Such moated enclosures were typical of modest gentry or substantial yeoman holdings during the medieval and early post-medieval periods.
