Moat Hall moated site and site of external ancillary buildings, Braithwell is a medieval moated homestead located in South Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moated enclosure with associated earthworks representing the foundations and platforms of buildings that stood outside the moat itself, indicating a settlement of some status during the medieval period. The site reflects the defensive and residential characteristics typical of moated sites constructed by minor gentry or substantial landholders between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The preservation of external building platforms alongside the moated enclosure provides valuable archaeological evidence of the spatial organisation and layout of a medieval domestic complex beyond the moat perimeter.
