Overview

History & significance

New Hall moat and fishpond is a medieval earthwork monument located in Yorkshire. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure associated with a domestic or manorial settlement, typical of high-status medieval habitation from approximately the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The earthworks include the characteristic ditched enclosure that would have surrounded the hall, together with an adjoining fishpond, a feature commonly integrated into medieval elite settlements for both practical food production and aesthetic purposes. These earthworks survive as substantial ground features and represent the physical layout of a medieval aristocratic or gentry residence.
