Coston Manor moat is a medieval earthwork monument located in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat that formerly surrounded a manorial dwelling, representing a common form of elite domestic fortification and status display among the gentry during the medieval period. The moat's survival as an archaeological feature indicates the former importance of Coston as a manorial centre, though the superstructure of the original house has been lost. The monument remains a significant record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic archaeology in the Shropshire landscape.
