Newton Bury moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Bedfordshire, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive or prestigious feature of medieval manorial settlements dating to the medieval period. Such moated sites were commonly constructed from the twelfth century onwards and served as the focal points of agricultural estates, their water-filled ditches providing both practical and symbolic demarcation of lordly property. The Newton Bury example represents the type of settlement hierarchy and land organisation that characterised the English medieval countryside.
