Chideock Castle is a moated site located approximately 520 metres south-west of Chideock Manor in Dorset. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat with associated earthwork features that are characteristic of medieval fortified domestic sites. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the physical remains of a defended residence, though limited archaeological investigation has constrained detailed knowledge of its structural evolution and period of occupation. The moated enclosure and its surrounding landscape features remain visible as earthworks and constitute an important record of medieval settlement and land use in this part of Dorset.
