Tilts moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Yorkshire, England. The site consists of a substantial moat defining a residential platform, characteristic of the moated homesteads that proliferated across England during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such moated sites typically served as the centres of modest manorial estates, their water defences providing both practical protection and a visual assertion of status. The monument remains visible as earthwork features and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under the National Heritage List for England.
