Marston Magna moated site is a medieval settlement monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure and associated earthworks that represent a typical example of a high-status medieval homestead, likely dating to the twelfth through fourteenth centuries. The moat itself survives as a water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding a central platform, with additional field systems and possibly settlement features preserved in the surrounding landscape. Such moated sites are characteristic of medieval manorial organisation in southern England and provide evidence of domestic and agricultural arrangements during the medieval period.
