Manor House moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a moat—a water-filled or water-retaining defensive ditch—which represents a common form of domestic fortification employed by the minor gentry and substantial landowners during the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly prevalent in England between the 12th and 16th centuries, serving both defensive and status-signalling functions. The earthwork survives as a scheduled ancient monument and provides archaeological evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic organisation in the Yorkshire landscape.
