Moated site at Manor Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Gloucestershire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding the manorial settlement, a characteristic feature of high-status residences from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat would have served both defensive and prestige functions, isolating the manor house and its associated buildings from the surrounding landscape. Such moated sites represent important archaeological evidence of the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval England, with this example contributing to understanding of manorial organisation in the region during the medieval period.
