The site of Archbishop's moated palace and fishponds at Hall Garth is a fourteenth-century residential complex associated with the archbishops of York. The monument comprises the remains of a moated enclosure together with evidence of associated fishponds, representing the infrastructure of a high-status ecclesiastical residence. Such moated palaces served as both administrative centres and retreats for the archbishops during their travels through their extensive estates. The survival of the earthwork features provides archaeological evidence of medieval elite settlement patterns and the management of water resources by the church.
