Ashton Manor moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Northamptonshire. The site is defined by a substantial moat that originally surrounded a manor house and its associated domestic buildings, typical of the settlement patterns established by the Norman and early medieval aristocracy. The moated enclosure represents a form of defensive and status-conscious dwelling that became widespread amongst the English gentry from the twelfth century onwards. The site survives as an earthwork monument, with the moat remaining as the principal visible feature of this once-occupied manorial landscape.
