Lodge Farm, South Park is a medieval moated site situated in Surrey, England, comprising a substantial rectangular moat with adjoining paddock boundaries that define the historic landscape of the holding. The moat, which represents the defensive and status-affirming enclosure typical of medieval farmsteads, dates to the medieval period and indicates occupation by a substantial landholding family during this era. The survival of associated paddock boundaries demonstrates the wider agricultural organisation of the medieval farm, preserving evidence of both domestic and productive land use. This monument represents an important example of the medieval settlement hierarchy and rural economy, with the moat serving as a physical marker of social standing and property demarcation within the Surrey landscape.
