The moated site 50m north west of Red House is a medieval earthwork monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat defining an enclosed residential platform, a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Moated sites of this type typically served as the defended homesteads of minor gentry or substantial landholders, combining practical water defences with status display. The earthwork remains visible as a prominent topographical feature, preserving evidence of medieval settlement patterns and social hierarchy in the English countryside.
