Winestead Manor moated site is a medieval fortified residence located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises the remains of a moat, a characteristic defensive water-filled ditch that once enclosed a substantial manor house, indicating the settlement's status and importance during the medieval period. Such moated sites were particularly common in northern England during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, serving both defensive and status functions for landholding families. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological feature that provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the social hierarchy of rural Yorkshire.
