Moated site at Manor Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a common feature of medieval manorial settlements dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, which served both defensive and status-conferring purposes. The moat survives as a water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding the former manorial dwelling, representing a characteristic example of medieval settlement hierarchy in the English countryside. Such moated sites are particularly numerous in East Anglia and provide archaeological evidence of the organisation and prosperity of medieval rural communities.
