Manor House moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located on East End Road in Finchley, Middlesex. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a form of medieval defensive and status-signalling earthwork characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat would originally have surrounded a timber or stone structure serving as a manorial dwelling, representing the physical manifestation of feudal landholding in this part of north London. The survival of the earthwork as an archaeological feature makes it valuable for understanding the medieval settlement pattern and social hierarchy of the Middlesex landscape.
