Manor Farm is a scheduled monument located in Hampshire, England, at grid reference SU 35235 26355. The site occupies 1.77 hectares and is protected by Historic England under reference 1001781. It lies on White Chalk bedrock of the Maastrichtian period, geology characteristic of Hampshire's downland landscape.
The monument represents the physical remains of a manorial settlement, though the site is now uninhabited. Such farmsteads formed the economic and administrative heart of medieval and early modern rural England. The chalk subsoil beneath Manor Farm would have influenced both the settlement's drainage and the agricultural potential of the surrounding land.
The scheduling of this 1.77-hectare area recognises the archaeological and historical significance of the site's buried structures and deposits. Manor Farm preserves evidence of settlement patterns, farming practices and social organisation spanning potentially several centuries. The monument's protection ensures that archaeological investigation and heritage recording can proceed systematically, contributing to understanding of Hampshire's rural development and manorial history.
