Mote Hill is a moated site located approximately 500 metres west of Nun Appleton Hall in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a mound with surrounding moat, two associated fishponds, and part of an adjacent field system, representing a typical medieval settlement pattern of the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat and mound formation indicates a manorial or defended residence of medieval date, whilst the fishponds demonstrate the economic importance of aquaculture to the medieval household. The surviving earthworks, together with the adjacent field remains, provide evidence of the organisation and resource management of a medieval rural estate.
