Headstone Manor moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Harrow, Middlesex, comprising a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a residential and agricultural complex. Dating from the twelfth or thirteenth century, the site represents a significant example of a moated homestead of the type common among the minor gentry and substantial landholders of medieval England. The moat survives as a substantial topographical feature, enclosing an area that would have contained a manor house and associated domestic and working buildings within its banks. The site has considerable archaeological potential as an almost intact medieval landscape feature, with the moat's survival indicating the former importance and permanence of the settlement it protected.
