Moulton is a complex archaeological site in Yorkshire containing evidence of occupation and land use spanning multiple periods. The Neolithic henge represents one of the site's earliest phases of monumental construction, whilst later medieval activity is attested by a settlement, associated field system, and a moated enclosure. These features demonstrate the continuity of land use and settlement at Moulton across several millennia. The combination of Neolithic ritual monuments with later medieval settlement patterns provides valuable evidence for understanding changing patterns of habitation and land organisation in Yorkshire.
