Frickley Old Hall moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a rectangular moat that once enclosed a domestic dwelling, representing a form of settlement characteristic of the medieval period. Moated sites of this type were typically constructed between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, serving both defensive and status-signalling functions for gentry and minor nobility. The survival of the moat's earthwork remains provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
