Moat Hill moated site is a medieval defensive settlement located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure typical of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, when such fortified farmsteads were constructed by minor nobility and substantial landholders across northern England. The moat, which survives as a water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding a raised platform, represents a modest but significant form of medieval domestic fortification. Such sites are valuable archaeological monuments for understanding the settlement patterns and social hierarchy of medieval rural England.
