Moated site at Bewbush Manor is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Sussex, England. The site comprises a water-filled moat that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial dwelling, a settlement form characteristic of the high and later medieval period in southern England. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical and symbolic functions, providing protection and denoting the status of their inhabitants within the feudal hierarchy. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological resource for understanding medieval settlement patterns and the domestic arrangements of the landowning classes in Sussex during this period.
