Manor Farm Iron Age univallate hillfort and medieval moated enclosure is a dual-phase defensive earthwork in Bedfordshire combining Iron Age and medieval occupation. The site comprises a univallate hillfort, characterised by a single bank and ditch defensive circuit, which dates to the Iron Age period and represents typical settlement fortification of that era. In the medieval period, the location was subsequently adapted for use as a moated enclosure, demonstrating the strategic value of the topographical position and the practice of reoccupying earlier defensive sites. The superimposition of medieval features upon Iron Age earthworks illustrates the long continuity of settlement and defensive use at this Bedfordshire location.
