Moated site, Moat Farm is a medieval moated enclosure located in Buckinghamshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that formerly surrounded a residential or manorial complex, a common settlement form in southern England during the medieval period. Such moated sites typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served to protect and demarcate high-status dwellings, though their precise chronology and function continue to be subjects of archaeological study. The earthwork survives as a visible landscape feature, representing an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in the county.
