Eastfield Sike medieval moated site is a scheduled ancient monument in Westmorland comprising a moated enclosure of medieval date together with an associated fishpond and woodland earthworks. The moated site itself consists of a substantial rectangular or sub-rectangular enclosure defined by a ditch and internal bank system, typical of medieval manorial or high-status domestic settlement patterns in northern England. The fishpond, positioned in close proximity to the moated enclosure, represents the medieval exploitation of water resources for food production. The woodland boundary banks and ditches recorded at Burtergill Wood and Kiln Hill in the same vicinity demonstrate medieval land management and territorial division within the local landscape, indicating sustained medieval activity and organisation across the wider area.
