Lovehurst Manor is a medieval moated site located in Kent, England, and is designated as an ancient monument under NHLE list entry 1013122. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moat, which would have enclosed a manorial dwelling and its associated domestic buildings during the medieval period.
