Camera and moated site at Faxfleet Hall is a medieval moated enclosure in the East Riding of Yorkshire, located near the village of Faxfleet. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding a raised platform, which would have defended a residence of medieval date, likely from the twelfth to fourteenth century. The earthwork represents a common form of high-status domestic settlement during the medieval period, providing both practical defence and a visual marker of lordly status. The camera, or fortified hall, would have occupied the interior platform, though little structural evidence now remains above ground.
