Winestead Manor moated site is a medieval defensive and residential earthwork located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure typical of high-status manorial settlements of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, with water-filled ditches forming the principal defensive feature around the manor house platform. The moat system survives as an archaeological monument demonstrating the layout and scale of a medieval Yorkshire manor, though the superstructure buildings no longer remain standing. The site's preservation as earthworks provides evidence of settlement hierarchy and land management practices in medieval East Yorkshire.
