Cleaving Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive or prestigious residential settlement that was common among the minor gentry and substantial farmers during the medieval period. Moated sites of this type typically date from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, with many established during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
