A moated site, three fishponds, two trackways and field systems at Moat Farm is a complex of medieval agricultural and domestic features located in Bedfordshire. The moat itself represents the residential focus of a medieval manor, whilst the associated fishponds, trackways and field systems demonstrate the integrated management of the estate during the medieval period. The site reflects the landscape organisation typical of high medieval rural settlement, with the lord's moated enclosure positioned within a framework of productive resources including water management features for both sustenance and status. These features survive as earthwork remains and provide archaeological evidence for the development and layout of a medieval manorial holding.
