Moated site at St Lois Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, consisting of a defensive earthwork formed by a water-filled ditch enclosing a raised platform or island. The site dates to the medieval period, likely established during the high medieval centuries when moated homesteads served as residences for minor gentry and substantial farmers. The earthwork survives as a substantial topographical feature, with the moat remaining largely intact and visible as a distinctive archaeological deposit. Such sites are characteristic of the medieval landscape in northern England and provide evidence of the settlement patterns and domestic arrangements of the period.
