Kinsley moat and fishpond is a medieval defensive and domestic earthwork located in West Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the substantial remains of a moated enclosure typical of high medieval settlement patterns, with associated fishponds that served both practical and status-conferring functions for its occupants. The moat and ponds are arranged as earthen banks and ditches that define the medieval layout of what was likely a manorial or gentry residence, representing the settlement hierarchy of medieval Yorkshire. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement and water management practices dating to the twelfth through fourteenth centuries.
