Brambletye Manor is a medieval moated site located in Sussex, England, dating from the medieval period. The site is defined by its characteristic water-filled or formerly water-filled moat, which would have surrounded the residential and domestic structures of the manor house, providing both defensive and status-conferring functions typical of medieval elite residences. Moated sites of this type were particularly common in southern England during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, and Brambletye represents an example of the local gentry's settlement patterns during this era. The moat remains the most visible archaeological feature of the site, preserving important evidence of medieval manorial occupation and land use in Sussex.
