Moat at Old Place is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a moat, a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch that typically surrounded a residential or manorial structure of medieval date. Such moated sites were common features of the English landscape from the 11th century onwards, serving both practical and symbolic functions for landholding families. The moat at Old Place represents the physical remains of a once-fortified domestic settlement, though the superstructure that it originally enclosed has not survived.
