Whimpton Moor is a medieval settlement site located in Nottinghamshire, comprising the remains of a deserted village and associated moated enclosure. The site represents typical medieval rural settlement patterns of the East Midlands, with evidence of habitation and land use dating to the medieval period. The moated element suggests the presence of a manorial or higher-status residence within the settlement hierarchy. The site now survives as earthworks and represents an important archaeological record of medieval agrarian society and settlement desertion patterns common across England.
