Cleaving Hall moated site is a medieval defensive homestead located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed a domestic residence, typical of the 13th to 15th centuries when such water-bounded enclosures served as status symbols and practical defences for minor gentry and substantial yeoman farmers. The moat remains visible as an earthwork feature, marking the former perimeter of the hall's precinct. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site preserves important evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic fortification practices in northern England.
