Moated site 170m north of Wholsea Farm is a medieval defensive or domestic enclosure located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a water-filled or drained moat defining a residential platform, a settlement form widely adopted by minor gentry and prosperous farmers during the medieval period. Such moated sites are characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and served both practical and status-affirming functions, providing protection and demarcating property boundaries. The site's survival as an earthwork feature contributes to understanding medieval settlement patterns and land use across the Yorkshire landscape.
