Moated site at Ewhurst Place is a medieval residential enclosure located in Sussex, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding what would have been a domestic dwelling, a form of settlement defence and status symbol that became widespread amongst the gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period. Such moated homesteads typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, reflecting the prosperity and social standing of their owners. The surviving earthwork demonstrates the characteristic plan of these medieval sites, with the moat forming a protective barrier around the residential platform, though the superstructure itself has not survived.
