Stratton Park moated enclosure is a medieval manorial site located in Bedfordshire, comprising earthwork remains of a moated homestead and associated field systems. The moated enclosure itself represents a form of domestic fortification typical of the 13th to 15th centuries, when such features were common amongst the medieval gentry and prosperous landholders. The site preserves evidence of the layout and organisation of a medieval manor, with the moat defining the central residential and service area, whilst the surrounding earthworks indicate the broader manorial landscape. The monument contributes to understanding medieval settlement patterns and the hierarchical organisation of rural society in the East Midlands region during the medieval period.
