Steeton medieval village, moated site and fishponds is a scheduled ancient monument in Yorkshire comprising the remains of a medieval settlement with associated water management features. The site includes the earthwork traces of a moated enclosure, characteristic of high-status medieval occupation, alongside a system of fishponds that served both practical and ornamental functions typical of the period. The monument dates to the medieval period, with the settlement pattern and defensive or prestige-marking moat reflecting the social and economic organisation of medieval rural communities. The survival of these earthworks provides valuable evidence for understanding medieval settlement hierarchy and the organisation of agricultural and domestic space in the region.
