Old Little Humber moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding a raised platform, characteristic of the moated homestead form that proliferated across England during the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites typically served as the defended residences of minor gentry or prosperous landholding families, though Old Little Humber remains modest in scale compared to more ambitious medieval fortified manors. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under National Heritage List entry 1008048, reflecting its significance as a surviving physical record of medieval settlement patterns and domestic land tenure in Yorkshire.
