Manor Farm moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Bedfordshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of settlement defence and status display characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th century onwards. The moat survives as a substantial archaeological feature, defining the former extent of the manorial complex and providing evidence of medieval land use and settlement patterns in the county. Such moated sites are relatively common in the East Midlands and East Anglia, and Manor Farm represents an important example of this distinctive settlement type within the regional archaeological record.
