The moated site, fishponds and associated field system located 125 metres south of Eldmire Cottage in Yorkshire is a medieval settlement complex comprising earthwork remains of substantial archaeological interest. The site encompasses a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, together with adjacent fishponds which would have served both practical and status functions for the resident community. The associated field system indicates organised agricultural use of the surrounding landscape during the medieval period. The survival of these earthworks provides evidence of medieval land use, settlement patterns and the economic organisation of a rural Yorkshire estate.
