Kelfield moated site and fishpond is a medieval enclosed settlement located 180 metres north of Kelfield Church in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic feature of medieval manorial sites, alongside associated fishponds which served both practical and status functions for the resident lord. The site dates to the medieval period, typical of the widespread construction of moated homesteads across northern England between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. Such enclosures provided defence, drainage control, and visual demonstration of lordly authority within the medieval landscape.
