Hallgarth medieval hall and moat is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval residential complex. The site consists of a substantial moated enclosure typical of the high medieval period, when such water-filled defences served both practical and status-defining functions for landowning families. The moat survives as a clearly defined feature in the landscape, with associated platforms and banks indicating the former position of domestic structures within its protective boundary. Such moated sites became increasingly common in northern England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, representing a significant phase of rural settlement and territorial consolidation.
