The Fossé Saint-Philibert is a historic monument located in the municipality of Jumièges, Seine-Maritime (Department 76), in the Normandy region. Although its status as a Historic Monument is confirmed, the available sources do not specify its construction period or initial use. Its location is approximately located near the municipality of Yainville, according to data from the Merimée database.

In the Norman context, medieval or religious ditches were often used to delimit sacred spaces, such as abbeys or monastic enclosures. The region, marked by a strong ecclesiastical presence in the Middle Ages, had many sites linked to holy figures or religious orders. These structures played a central role in the territorial and spiritual organization of local communities.
