Tilts moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat that once surrounded a residential or manorial complex, typical of the moated homesteads that proliferated in England during the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. The moat remains a prominent topographical feature, preserving evidence of the medieval settlement hierarchy and land management practices. Such moated sites served both defensive and practical purposes, with the water boundary providing security and drainage for the elevated domestic or agricultural buildings that would have occupied the interior platform.
