Moated site at Moat House Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a moat surrounding a raised platform or island, a characteristic feature of medieval fortified domestic settlements that flourished in England from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the residences of minor gentry or substantial farmers, combining modest defensive capability with status demonstration during the medieval period. The earthwork survives as a documented archaeological monument reflecting patterns of rural settlement and landholding in medieval East Anglia.
