Lovehurst Manor is a medieval moated site located in Kent, England. The monument consists of a moated enclosure that dates to the medieval period, representing a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the High to Late Medieval era. Moated sites of this type typically served as the residential centres of minor gentry or substantial peasant landholders, with the water-filled ditch providing both defence and status. The site remains a significant archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Kentish landscape.
