Moated site at Manor Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Cambridgeshire, England. The site consists of a substantial water-filled or water-retaining moat enclosing the former manorial residence, a common form of domestic fortification among the gentry and lesser nobility during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. The moat survives as a clearly defined earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the settlement hierarchy and land tenure patterns characteristic of medieval rural England. Such moated sites typically indicate the presence of a manor house of some standing, though the superstructure itself may no longer be visible above ground.
