Castle Hill moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located 350 metres south of St Peter and St Paul's Church in Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a common form of medieval settlement defence and status symbol among the gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, represents the remains of what was likely a modest fortified residence or manor house, with the water-filled ditch serving both defensive and practical purposes. Such moated sites are characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries, and their distribution across England reflects the considerable investment in domestic fortification during the medieval era.
