Radcliffe moated site, Langthwaite, Adwick le Street is a medieval moated homestead located in South Yorkshire. The monument comprises a roughly rectangular moated enclosure typical of medieval settlement patterns in the region, dating to the medieval period. Moated sites of this character generally served as the defensive or status-conscious residences of minor gentry or substantial farmers, with the water-filled ditch providing both practical and symbolic demarcation of the domestic space. The site represents an important example of the dispersed settlement pattern that characterised much of medieval Yorkshire before the later reorganisation of the landscape.
