The moated site at Ifield Court is a medieval defensive and residential enclosure located in Sussex. The monument consists of a moat surrounding what would have been a substantial dwelling or manor house, a form of fortification common amongst the minor gentry and landed classes during the medieval period. Such moated sites proliferated in the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, offering both practical water-based defence and a visible marker of status and lordly authority within the landscape. The site at Ifield Court represents the archaeological remains of this medieval settlement pattern and continues to be of significance for understanding the distribution and character of medieval domestic architecture in Sussex.
