Manor Holt moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Nottinghamshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of the high medieval period, when such water-filled defensive or prestige features were constructed around manorial residences and their associated farmsteads. The moat survives as a substantial earthwork feature defining the boundary of the former settlement, providing evidence of medieval land organisation and the territorial claims of its occupants. Such moated sites are characteristic of the midland landscape and represent an important class of medieval domestic archaeology, though the specific phases of occupation and use at Manor Holt remain subjects for further archaeological investigation.
