Kings Manor moated site is a medieval enclosed settlement located approximately 450 metres south of Little London in Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval domestic and agricultural fortification common throughout medieval England, particularly during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself would have served both defensive and drainage functions, enclosing what was likely a manorial complex of considerable status. As a scheduled monument and protected heritage asset, the site represents an important example of medieval settlement patterns and landlord authority in the Yorkshire landscape.
