Hallgarth medieval hall and moat is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval defensive enclosure. The site consists of a substantial moat surrounding the former hall, representing a form of domestic fortification typical of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites were common amongst the minor gentry and substantial landholders throughout northern England, serving both practical defensive purposes and as visible expressions of social status. The earthworks at Hallgarth survive as an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic architecture in the Yorkshire landscape.
