Fleet Plantation moated site is a medieval monument located in Nottinghamshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moat, a defensive water-filled ditch that typically enclosed a residential or manorial dwelling, and dates to the medieval period. Such moated sites were common features of the medieval English landscape, particularly among minor gentry and substantial landholders, and this example represents the agricultural and social organisation of its era. The survival of the moat's earthworks provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in Nottinghamshire.
