The Rush is a moated site located in Yorkshire, England, representing a form of medieval settlement defensive earthwork. Moated sites of this type, typically dating from the 11th to 14th centuries, were established by landholding families seeking to create fortified domestic enclosures through the excavation of water-filled ditches. The Rush preserves evidence of this medieval settlement pattern through its surviving earthwork features. Such sites provide important archaeological and historical testimony to the social organisation and settlement strategies of the medieval English countryside.
