Netherthorpe moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive or prestigious residential feature typical of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites served as the focal points of manorial estates and reflected the status of their occupants within the feudal hierarchy. The physical remains at Netherthorpe preserve evidence of the water-filled ditch that once surrounded the site, contributing to our understanding of medieval settlement patterns and land use in northern England.
