Snittlegarth moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestige dwelling common in medieval England, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. The moat, a water-filled ditch surrounding a central platform, survives as an archaeological feature and represents the physical remains of what was likely a substantial residential or manorial settlement. Such sites are characteristic of the medieval period and provide evidence of settlement patterns and land use in northern England during the Middle Ages.
