Moated site 550m south east of Scorborough Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that enclosed a residential or manorial precinct, typical of medieval settlement patterns across northern England between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served both practical and symbolic functions, providing protection and drainage whilst denoting the status of their occupants within the feudal hierarchy. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and contributes to understanding the distribution and character of medieval settlement in the region.
