Middleton Quernhow Hall is a moated site located in Yorkshire, England, representing a form of medieval settlement and defensive organisation characteristic of the medieval period. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a defensive feature that was widely adopted during the medieval centuries, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, as a means of demarcating high-status domestic or manorial property. The physical remains visible today consist of the earthwork traces of the moat itself, which survives as a discernible topographic feature in the landscape. Such moated sites across northern England typically served as the centres of modest estates, combining practical water management and symbolic assertion of status within the manorial hierarchy.
