Moated site at North Park Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a residential platform, characteristic of the moated homestead settlement type that flourished in England during the medieval period, particularly between the 12th and 16th centuries. Such moated sites served both defensive and status-marking functions for landholding families of modest to middling rank. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological feature, representing an important physical record of medieval settlement patterns and rural land management in the county.
