Moated site 310m north east of Scorborough church is a medieval defensive and domestic enclosure located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site consists of a substantial rectangular moat that formerly surrounded a residential platform, typical of the moated homesteads established by minor nobility and substantial landholders during the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in northern England from the twelfth century onwards, serving both practical and symbolic purposes as markers of status and property. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and represents an important record of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of rural estates in Yorkshire during the later medieval period.
