New Manor Farm moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Cheshire, England. The site comprises a rectangular moat that formerly surrounded a domestic or manorial residence, a common form of medieval settlement defence and status symbol among the minor gentry and prosperous landholders of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moated platform would have contained timber or stone structures, though surface evidence of buildings is limited. Such moated sites are characteristic of the medieval settlement pattern in the North West of England and represent the modest fortified homesteads of the period.
