Bolton Old Hall moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, consisting of the earthwork remains of a medieval moat surrounding the site of a former residential structure. The monument dates to the medieval period, likely representing a manor house or similar high-status dwelling of the 12th to 16th centuries.
