Park Closes moated lodge is a medieval moated site located approximately 130 metres south-west of Park Farm in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once enclosed and protected a residential lodge, representing a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the medieval period. The moat survives as an earthwork feature, with the enclosure demonstrating the settlement hierarchy and defensive concerns of its era. Such moated lodges were typically occupied by minor gentry or prosperous landholders during the medieval centuries, and the site's survival as an upstanding monument contributes to understanding medieval rural settlement patterns in Yorkshire.
