Manor House moated site is a medieval defensive settlement located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of manorial establishments constructed during the medieval period, when such water-filled ditches served both practical and symbolic functions for landholding families. The moat represents a common form of elite domestic security and status display among minor nobility and gentry in northern England during the later medieval centuries. The monument survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of the layout and scale of the medieval settlement pattern in the Yorkshire landscape.
