Knighton Farm settlement and moat is a medieval monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated homestead, a settlement form characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat, a water-filled or water-logged ditch, would have enclosed and defended a substantial farmstead, indicating the status and resources of its medieval occupants. Such moated sites represent important evidence of medieval rural settlement patterns and the organisation of agricultural land in England.
