Roxby Hill manorial complex is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of a medieval manor house and its associated settlement earthworks located in Yorkshire. The site is characterised by ridge and furrow field systems, which represent the agricultural landscape of the medieval period and demonstrate the organisation of open-field farming around the manorial settlement. The earthworks visible across the site reflect the settlement pattern and land use of the medieval period, with the physical remains providing evidence of the economic and social structure of the manor. The preservation of these archaeological features as earthworks makes Roxby Hill a significant example of medieval manorial organisation and rural settlement in northern England.
