Netherthorpe moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of aristocratic or manorial settlement that was widely established during the medieval period. The site's physical remains include a water-filled or water-defined ditch surrounding a raised platform, typical of moated homesteads constructed from the twelfth century onwards. Such sites served both defensive and status-indicating functions for medieval landholding families, and Netherthorpe represents an important example of this settlement type within the Yorkshire archaeological record.
