Bruce's Castle is a moated site located immediately east of Bruce's Castle Farm in Huntingdonshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that formerly enclosed a residential precinct, representing a form of medieval domestic fortification common among the minor gentry and nobility during the later medieval period. The moat survives as a significant earthwork feature, indicating the former presence of a timber or stone-built structure within its defended enclosure, though the superstructure has not survived above ground. This monument type, characteristic of medieval Huntingdonshire, demonstrates the defensive aspirations and social status of its medieval occupants.
