Slade Hooton medieval settlement and moated site is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, England, comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement with an associated moated enclosure. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the physical traces of domestic and possibly defensive occupation characteristic of rural settlement hierarchy in northern England during the Middle Ages. The moated element suggests a site of some social standing, as such enclosures were typically constructed by landholders of moderate wealth and status. The earthworks survive as surface features that document the layout and organisation of the medieval settlement, providing evidence of how communities were structured and arranged across the Yorkshire landscape during this period.
