Kings Manor moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 450 metres south of Little London in Yorkshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a form of defensive domestic settlement that was widespread amongst medieval landholders and minor nobility between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The moat itself, a water-filled ditch surrounding the central platform, would have provided both practical protection and visual demonstration of the occupant's status and territorial authority. Though the precise dating and details of occupation remain subject to further archaeological investigation, the monument represents an important example of medieval settlement hierarchy and domestic architecture within Yorkshire.
