South Park Farm moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Surrey, England. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that would have enclosed a dwelling and associated structures, typical of the moated homesteads that proliferated throughout southern England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic purposes, providing drainage, defence, and status for the landholding families who occupied them. The earthwork survives as a clearly defined landscape feature and represents an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in the Surrey region.
