Roberts Farm Site (36LA1) is a historic archaeological site located above the Conestoga River at Manor Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It underwent excavation in 1931-1932 and in 1971 by the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission. The excavations identified the presence of a substantial, fortified Susquehannock Indian village and cemetery from the Late Woodland / Protohistoric period. Settlement was from the Late Archaic period through about 1650.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
