Wilton Hall moated site is a medieval defensive earthwork located approximately 250 metres south of Manor Farm in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic form of medieval fortification common among minor gentry and substantial farming families from the 12th century onwards. The site's earthworks survive as a substantial rectangular moat with associated banks and ditches, evidence of a residential settlement of modest status during the later medieval period. Such moated sites typically represent the domestic and agricultural centre of a manorial holding, providing both defensive capability and status display for their owners during the medieval era.
