Nether Poppleton medieval moated site, fishponds and earthworks is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a medieval settlement and associated water management features located near St Everilda's Church in Yorkshire. The site includes a moated enclosure typical of medieval manorial settlements, together with fishponds that served both economic and domestic purposes, features characteristic of prosperous medieval rural estates. The earthworks date to the medieval period, representing the physical infrastructure of a manorial holding and its exploitation of local water resources. The preservation of these features as earthworks, now largely unexcavated, provides important evidence for understanding the settlement patterns and agricultural practices of medieval Yorkshire.
