The Moat is a medieval earthwork monument located in Hampshire, England. The site consists of a substantial mounded enclosure surrounded by a ditch, characteristic of high-status medieval settlements of the 11th to 13th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the focal points of manorial estates, with the raised platform providing defensive advantage and symbolic assertion of lordly authority over the surrounding landscape. The monument survives as an important example of medieval settlement archaeology in southern England, preserving evidence of the social and economic organisation of the feudal period.
