Moat House moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled moat surrounding a residential platform, a characteristic form of domestic fortification that developed during the 12th and 13th centuries and remained in use through the medieval period. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic functions, providing protection for the inhabitants and their possessions whilst also demonstrating social status within the landscape. The earthworks at Moat House represent the physical remains of a medieval manorial settlement, with the moat itself constituting the primary surviving archaeological feature of this domestic occupation.
