The Moat is a medieval earthwork monument located in Hampshire, England. It comprises a substantial defensive ditch and bank formation characteristic of early medieval settlement fortification, dating to the period between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. The monument represents the type of manorial or administrative enclosure common to the Norman period and its aftermath, reflecting the reorganisation of territorial control and settlement hierarchy following 1066. Its physical survival as an upstanding earthwork preserves evidence of domestic and possibly defensive organisation during a formative period of English feudal society.
