Moated site at Marwell Manor is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Hampshire. The site consists of a substantial rectangular moat enclosing an area of approximately 100 metres by 80 metres, with outer banks and ditches forming a characteristic moated homestead layout typical of the High to Late Medieval period. Such moated enclosures served as prestigious residences for minor nobility and gentry, providing both defensive capability and visible demonstration of status within the feudal hierarchy. The Marwell example represents a well-preserved instance of this widespread medieval settlement form, which was particularly prevalent in southern England during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries.
