Manor Farm moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of a substantial water-filled moat surrounding what was formerly a residential or manorial complex, a defensive and status-conferring feature characteristic of medieval elite settlement from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites were widespread across medieval England, particularly in areas of dispersed settlement, and their presence typically indicates the former seat of a landholding family of some standing. The moat at Manor Farm represents a well-preserved example of this settlement type and contributes to understanding medieval land use and social hierarchy in the Lincolnshire landscape.
