Low Dinsdale is a medieval moated manorial site located at the Manor House in County Durham. The monument consists of the earthwork remains of a moat that once surrounded a manorial dwelling, evidencing the settlement pattern and defensive arrangements typical of medieval gentry landholding in northern England. The site dates to the medieval period, when such moated enclosures served both practical and symbolic functions for local lords managing agricultural estates. The survival of these earthworks provides valuable archaeological evidence of the medieval landscape and the hierarchical organisation of rural settlement in the North East.
