Moated site at Manor Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Worcestershire. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat that once enclosed a residential enclosure, a form of fortification common among the English gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving both as practical defences and symbols of status. The Monument represents a characteristic example of medieval domestic settlement engineering in the English Midlands.
