Steeton medieval village, moated site and fishponds is a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire that preserves evidence of medieval settlement and land management practices. The site comprises the remains of a deserted or shrunken medieval village alongside a moated enclosure and associated fishpond features, which together represent the domestic and agricultural infrastructure of a medieval manor or substantial holding. The moated site, typical of medieval elite residences, would have served both defensive and status functions, whilst the fishponds indicate the exploitation of water resources for food production. The monument dates to the medieval period, with settlement activity potentially spanning several centuries before abandonment or contraction.
