Moot Hill is a motte and bailey castle and site of a medieval moated manor located in Yorkshire, England. The motte and bailey earthwork represents a defensive structure characteristic of Norman fortification, with the characteristic mound and enclosed bailey typical of eleventh and twelfth-century military architecture. The site subsequently developed as a moated manor, indicating its evolution from primary military stronghold to a more domestic residential focus during the medieval period. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological monument, preserving evidence of the transition from Norman military engineering to later medieval manor settlement patterns.
