Round About Moat, Arksey is a medieval moated site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial moat enclosing an area of habitation, typical of the defensive and status-affirming earthworks constructed by the Anglo-Norman gentry and minor nobility during the medieval period. Such moated homesteads were particularly common in northern England from the twelfth century onwards, serving both practical and symbolic functions within the feudal landscape. The site represents an important example of medieval settlement archaeology and demonstrates the pattern of dispersed rural occupation characteristic of the medieval Yorkshire countryside.
