Two moated sites and associated features located 520 metres north of Grimston Garth is a scheduled medieval monument in Yorkshire. The site comprises two separate moated enclosures characteristic of high medieval settlement patterns, likely dating to the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. Moated homesteads of this type served as defensive and status-signifying residences for minor landholders and gentry, with the water-filled ditches providing both practical protection and symbolic authority within the feudal landscape. The presence of multiple moated sites in close proximity suggests sustained medieval occupation and may indicate sequential settlement or the coexistence of related households.
