Overview

History & significance

Moated site and two fishponds 80m south-west of Parkhouse Farm is a medieval defensive and agricultural complex located in Yorkshire. The moated enclosure represents a form of settlement fortification common amongst the medieval gentry and substantial landholders from the twelfth century onwards, whilst the associated fishponds indicate the presence of a manorial estate capable of supporting pisciculture for food provision. The survival of these earthwork features demonstrates the layout and resource management of a medieval agricultural holding, though the precise dating and sequence of construction remain dependent upon archaeological investigation and local documentary evidence.
