Sedgwick Castle is a medieval moated site located in Sussex, England, designated as a scheduled monument under NHLE list entry 1009579. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure, characteristic of medieval defensive and residential settlements of the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat, which survives as a substantial water-filled or damp depression, once surrounded a now-levelled interior platform that would have supported a timber or stone dwelling and associated structures. This form of settlement was typical of the medieval period in southern England, representing a modest fortified homestead rather than a major castle, serving both defensive and status-affirming functions for its medieval occupants.
