Torpel Manor is a moated site located in Ashton, Northamptonshire, dating to the medieval period. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat enclosing an elevated platform that once supported a manor house, representing a form of residential fortification characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat remains largely well-preserved, defining the boundary of what was a significant local holding, though structural remains of the building itself are no longer visible above ground. The site demonstrates the medieval landowner's investment in both domestic comfort and defensible residence during the later medieval period.
