Marston Moat is the site of a fortified manor house in the parish of Trudoxhill, Somerset, England. It has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2] It is now on the Heritage at Risk Register due to animal burrowing.[3]

The 23 feet (7.0 m) wide moat which measures 108 feet (33 m) by 188 feet (57 m) has a 10 feet (3.0 m) wide and 1 foot (0.30 m) high bank on its south and east sides.[4] It is situated east of the River Frome.

The site was held by the Bigot family of Marston Bigot before 1195. There is some evidence that they fortified it without a licence to crenellate from Edward II.[5] As a result of this and an insult to the King's messenger Richard Bigot lost his titles to land,[6] which were assigned to William de Meriet and John de Meriet.

It was leased as a farmhouse by the reign of Edward IV however none of the stone remains,[2] and no full excavation has ever been carried out.[7]
