Moot Hill is a motte and bailey castle and site of a medieval moated manor located in Yorkshire, England. The motte and bailey earthworks represent a form of fortification typical of the Norman period following the conquest of 1066, consisting of an artificial mound with an associated bailey or defensive enclosure. The site also preserves evidence of later medieval occupation in the form of moated earthworks, indicating its continued use and adaptation through subsequent centuries. The combination of Norman-period military engineering and later domestic settlement makes Moot Hill significant for understanding the evolution of fortified residences in medieval Yorkshire.
