Quarrington Manor is a medieval moated site situated in Kent, England, with statutory protection as a scheduled ancient monument. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a manorial settlement, representing a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were commonly established from the twelfth century onwards as the residences of minor nobility and gentry, serving both defensive and status-marking functions. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological feature indicating the former presence of a substantial dwelling within the moated enclosure, contributing to understanding of medieval settlement patterns and manorial organisation in the region.
