Wynters Armourie is a moated site located in Essex, England, and forms part of the archaeological record of medieval settlement in the county. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of a moat, a water-filled defensive or status-defining feature characteristic of high-status medieval residential sites, particularly those of the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated enclosures typically surrounded timber or brick-built dwellings and outbuildings and reflect both the practical and symbolic functions of water barriers in medieval domestic architecture.
