A moated site 100m east of St Mary Magdalene's Church is a medieval earthwork monument located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial water-filled or water-retaining ditch forming an island platform, a characteristic defensive and status-affirming feature of medieval domestic occupation. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites were commonly established by minor nobility, gentry, or prosperous landholders from the twelfth century onwards. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important archaeological record of medieval settlement and land use in the region.
