Moated site at Newland Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a water-filled or water-retaining moat forming an enclosure around a central platform, a settlement form characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served as the centres of manorial estates and provided both practical and symbolic expressions of medieval lordship. The Newland Farm example represents the widespread distribution of moated settlements across northern England during the medieval period.
