Hemingford Grey Manor is a medieval moated site located in Huntingdonshire, England, with origins traceable to the Norman period. The site comprises a substantial motte and bailey earthwork surrounded by water-filled moats, characteristic defensive features of early medieval settlement hierarchy. The manor represents an important example of the physical expression of feudal landholding and manorial organisation in the East Midlands region during the medieval period. The surviving earthworks and water features provide archaeological evidence of domestic and administrative structures typical of a medieval manorial complex, though the site has undergone considerable modification and reuse over subsequent centuries.
