Manor Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a moat, a substantial water-filled or water-retaining ditch system that once enclosed a domestic or manorial residence, typical of the medieval period when such features were constructed to demarcate high-status holdings and provide defensive capability. Moated sites of this type were particularly common in central England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving as the focal points of agricultural estates and indicating the presence of a manor house or farmstead of some social standing. The earthwork survives as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important remnant of medieval settlement and land organisation in the Lincolnshire landscape.
