Elmers End moated site is a medieval monument located in South Norwood, Kent, consisting of the remains of a substantial moated enclosure. The site dates to the medieval period and represents a form of domestic settlement common among the gentry and minor nobility of medieval England, where water-filled ditches provided both defensive and status-conferring features. The moated platform itself survives as an earthwork, though its original structures have not endured. Such sites typically date from between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, and their preservation as earthworks contributes significantly to understanding rural settlement patterns and medieval land use in the region.
