Crosland Lower Hall moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of residential fortification characteristic of the later medieval period, when such features were constructed around the halls of minor gentry and prosperous landowners. The moat, which would originally have been water-filled, provided both practical defence and a visible marker of the occupant's status. The monument represents the established pattern of rural settlement and land ownership in northern England during the medieval period.
