West Grinstead Park Moated Site is a medieval earthwork monument located in West Grinstead, Sussex. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moated enclosure, with water-filled ditches surrounding what would have been a residential or manorial platform, typical of medieval elite domestic settlements of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites are characteristic features of the medieval Sussex landscape and represent the homes of minor nobility or prosperous landholding families during the medieval period. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Weald.
