Fenwick Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a moated enclosure that represents a form of aristocratic or manorial settlement typical of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were common features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, serving as defensive and status-affirming residences for landholding families. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the Yorkshire region.
