Catworth moated manorial complex is a medieval settlement site in Huntingdonshire comprising a moated enclosure and associated ridge and furrow earthworks. The moated feature, characteristic of medieval manorial organisation, served defensive and status functions typical of the 12th to 16th centuries. The surrounding ridge and furrow represents the arable field system that sustained the settlement and its dependent agricultural community. The site survives as an important example of the physical landscape of medieval rural settlement and land use in the East Midlands.
