Chequer Court is a medieval moated site located in Kent, England, designated as an ancient monument under NHLE list entry 1013145. The site consists of a substantial moat surrounding what was once a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of medieval settlement patterns in southeastern England. Dating to the medieval period, the moated site represents a form of fortified domestic settlement that was particularly common in the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, providing both defensive and status-marking functions for its inhabitants. The survival of the moat's earthwork remains offers evidence of medieval land use and social hierarchy within the Kent landscape.
