Kensbury moated site, fishpond and fragment of a medieval field system is a scheduled ancient monument in Yorkshire that represents the physical remains of medieval settlement and land management practices. The moated enclosure indicates a residence of manorial or gentry status dating to the medieval period, whilst the associated fishpond demonstrates the exploitation of water resources characteristic of such establishments. The surviving fragment of ridge-and-furrow field system provides evidence of the agricultural organisation surrounding the settlement, typical of the medieval open field farming economy. Together these elements comprise an important archaeological record of rural medieval life and landscape use in Yorkshire.
