Chawston Manor moated site is a medieval monument located in Bedfordshire, comprising the remains of a moated enclosure with associated fishpond. The site represents a typical manorial settlement pattern from the medieval period, with the moat serving both defensive and water management functions for the manor house and its immediate domestic precinct. The fishpond, integral to the medieval agricultural economy, would have provided a reliable source of fish for the manor's sustenance. The earthwork remains, visible as raised banks and water-filled channels, testify to the layout and organisation of medieval manorial settlement in the English midlands.
