Northolt Manor is a moated site located in Middlesex, England, representing a form of medieval settlement defence and status symbol common in the Home Counties during the medieval period. The monument comprises the surviving earthwork remains of a moat, which would originally have enclosed a manor house and its associated buildings, typical of high-status residences from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites served both defensive and drainage functions whilst demonstrating the landowner's social standing within the feudal hierarchy. The site's survival as an archaeological feature provides evidence of the manorial landscape that characterised medieval Middlesex prior to the expansion of London and subsequent urban development.
