Moated site at St Lois Farm is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding what would have been a domestic or manorial residence, a settlement pattern characteristic of the 12th to 16th centuries across northern England. Such moated sites typically indicate the presence of a modest fortified dwelling or farmstead belonging to a landowning family of some standing, though modest by comparison to castles or larger defensive structures. The earthwork remains a valuable archaeological record of medieval settlement hierarchy and domestic fortification practices in the Yorkshire landscape.
