Moated site and associated enclosure at Uphoe Manor Farm is a medieval fortified settlement located 700 metres east of Lavendon Church in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure typical of the 12th to 16th centuries, a period when such water-defended homesteads served as symbols of status and practical defensive features for the gentry and prosperous farming families of England. The site includes the moat itself, which would originally have surrounded a domestic or manorial complex, together with associated earthwork enclosures that may have served agricultural or administrative purposes. The physical remains, now largely visible as earthworks, constitute significant archaeological evidence for medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
