Shaw Fosse moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval domestic settlements dating from the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a water-filled or partially water-filled ditch surrounding the former residential platform, indicating the site's status as a minor gentry or substantial yeoman holding. Such moated sites represent important evidence for the distribution and character of medieval settlement hierarchies in the English countryside.
