Fountain Dale moat is a medieval moated site located in Nottinghamshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded a domestic or manorial dwelling, representing a form of settlement defence and status symbol characteristic of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were particularly common in the East Midlands during the 12th to 16th centuries, serving both practical and symbolic functions for their inhabitants. The survival of the moat's earthwork features provides evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns in the region.
