Moat House is a moated site located in Cambridgeshire, England, dating to the medieval period. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of a moat, a water-filled defensive ditch that once surrounded a residential dwelling, typical of high-status medieval settlement patterns from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites were common features of the English landscape during the medieval period, serving both defensive and status-signifying functions for their occupants. The survival of the moat's earthwork form provides archaeological evidence of medieval domestic settlement and land use in the region.
