Slipton Lodge moated site is a medieval residential earthwork located in Northamptonshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, a defensive or status-indicating feature characteristic of manorial settlements from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat survives as an approximately rectangular water-filled ditch surrounding the former lodge platform, representing a modest gentry residence rather than a major noble holding. Such moated sites are relatively common in the Midlands and reflect the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of the medieval English countryside.
