The Abbot of Ramsey's manor is a moated site located immediately north-east of Illing's Farm in Huntingdonshire. The site represents a medieval manor house belonging to Ramsey Abbey, one of the most significant Benedictine monasteries in East Anglia, which held extensive landholdings throughout the region. The moated enclosure, which survives as an earthwork feature, dates to the medieval period and reflects the Abbey's substantial secular estate management. Such moated sites served as defended or status-conscious residential complexes for the administration of monastic demesne lands.
