Fairburn Ings moat is a medieval earthwork monument located in North Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a motte-and-bailey fortification associated with Newton Abbey, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The moat survives as a substantial ditched enclosure, representing the defensive features typical of early medieval manorial settlements in the region. Such fortified sites served both defensive and administrative functions for the lords who controlled the surrounding agricultural lands during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
