Overhall Grove moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Cambridgeshire. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that formerly enclosed a domestic or manorial settlement, a form of settlement defence and status display characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. The moat remains largely visible as an earthwork feature, defining the principal archaeological evidence for the site's layout and function. Such moated sites are common across eastern England and typically reflect the settlement patterns and land management practices of the medieval aristocracy and gentry.
