Medieval moated sites in the Humber Lowlands of England – Landscape transformation, utilisation and social emulation

Fenwick, Helen

Abstract

This note explores the nature and use of moated sites within the Humber lowlands and places them within current debates on seigneurial residences and landscapes within the medieval period. It will highlight the different ways in which moated sites were used, and emphasise that monocausal explanations are unsatisfactory tools for understanding moat construction.
