Cellar Heads is a moated site located in Risby Park, North Yorkshire, comprising the earthwork remains of a residential enclosure dating to the medieval period. The monument consists of a substantial moat defining a roughly rectangular enclosure, representative of the domestic settlements established by landholding families during the high medieval period. Ridge and furrow earthworks survive in association with the moated site, indicating the agricultural land use that sustained the settlement and providing evidence of the integrated character of medieval manorial exploitation. The site remains a significant archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Yorkshire landscape, preserved as upstanding earthwork features that continue to inform understanding of rural medieval settlement organisation.
