Moated site at Nye Farm is a medieval enclosed settlement located in Somerset, England. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding a raised platform, a defensive and status-conscious arrangement characteristic of high-status medieval farmsteads and minor aristocratic residences of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites were common features of the English landscape during the medieval period, serving practical purposes of water management and drainage whilst also signalling the social standing of their inhabitants. The monument remains visible as earthworks, preserving evidence of domestic and agricultural organisation typical of medieval manorial activity.
