The moated site at North Luffenham is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Rutland, England. The monument comprises a substantial water-filled moat surrounding a residential platform, a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the defended residences of minor nobility or substantial landholders, combining practical water defence with a visible expression of status and authority. The North Luffenham example survives as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and the domestic arrangements of the rural gentry in the East Midlands.
