Medieval moated site 150m south east of Low Hutton Post Office is a scheduled ancient monument in Yorkshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval domestic enclosure surrounded by a water-filled or water-cut ditch. The site dates to the medieval period, likely the 12th to 16th centuries, when such moated homesteads were characteristic defensive and status-conscious settlements of the gentry and minor nobility across northern England. The moat survives as a substantial archaeological feature that preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns and land use in the Yorkshire landscape. Such sites are valuable for understanding the distribution and organisation of medieval rural settlement in this region.
