Lagham Manor is a medieval moated site located near South Godstone in Surrey. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat which formerly enclosed a manorial complex, representing a typical form of medieval aristocratic or gentry residence from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a prominent earthwork feature, though the structures that once stood within it have largely disappeared, leaving the water-filled or water-logged ditches as the primary evidence of the site's former layout and status. Such moated sites are characteristic of the medieval English countryside and indicate the presence of a defended or status-marked dwelling of some social standing during the later medieval period.
