Stenbury Manor is a medieval settlement site in Hampshire comprising the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure and associated settlement features. The moated site, which survives as a pronounced ditched enclosure, dates from the medieval period and represents the physical infrastructure of a manorial holding. The monument preserves evidence of medieval occupation and land organisation, with the moat forming the characteristic defensive or status-defining boundary typical of medieval manor houses of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The surrounding terrain contains additional settlement earthworks that complement the moated enclosure, providing archaeological testimony to the layout and scale of this medieval community.
