Castle Hill moated site is a scheduled ancient monument situated approximately 350 metres south of St Peter and St Paul's Church in Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure of medieval date, representing a form of defensive domestic settlement characteristic of the high and late medieval period in northern England. The earthwork survives as a ditched platform with associated banks, indicative of a modest fortified residence or manor house that would have been occupied by a local landholder. Such moated sites, though more common in the Midlands and southern England, demonstrate the dispersed pattern of medieval settlement and administrative authority across Yorkshire during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries.
