Moat Farm is a medieval moated site with associated post-medieval ice-house located in Sussex, England. The moated enclosure represents a form of defensive settlement dating to the medieval period, when such water-filled ditches served both practical and status-conscious functions for landholding families. The later ice-house, constructed in the post-medieval era, indicates the site's continued occupation and adaptation to changing agricultural and domestic practices. The combination of these two features demonstrates the evolution of settlement use across several centuries of English rural history.
