Bruce's Castle is a moated site located immediately east of Bruce's Castle Farm in Huntingdonshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded a now-levelled domestic platform, representing a form of medieval settlement fortification typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites were characteristic of the period and served both defensive and status-displaying functions for their occupants. The site's name suggests a possible association with the Bruce family, though the specific historical narrative of this particular moated enclosure remains obscure in the archaeological record.
