Manor Farm moat is a medieval earthwork monument situated in Nottinghamshire, consisting of a substantial water-filled or seasonally wet ditch that once surrounded a domestic settlement. The moat dates from the medieval period, likely between the 12th and 16th centuries, and represents a form of defensive and status-conferring feature common to manorial sites of this era. The earthwork survives as a visible archaeological feature that provides evidence of settlement patterns and land use during the medieval period in the East Midlands. Such moated sites were typically associated with the residences of minor nobility, gentry, or substantial farmers seeking to demarcate and protect their holdings.
