Steeton Hall is a medieval manorial centre and magnate's residence located in Yorkshire, England. The site represents a significant example of high medieval settlement hierarchy, with evidence of substantial aristocratic occupation during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The hall complex originally comprised domestic and administrative buildings characteristic of a major landholding, though its present remains reflect the fragmentary survival typical of medieval secular monuments. The site's archaeological and architectural evidence contributes to understanding the material culture and spatial organisation of elite medieval households in northern England.
