Catterton is a hamlet and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England.
History
Catterton is the location of one moated site which is a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Most such sites were built between 1250 and 1350, though construction continued throughout the medieval period.[1]
In the 17th century, the inhabitants of Catterton came into conflict with people from the neighbouring village of Bilbrough over a tract of unenclosed moorland between the two settlements. A meeting between the two sides organised by the intervention of prominent Yorkshire figures including Robert Fairfax devolved into violence. In 1723, the two sides resolved their dispute by digging a ditch from Thwaites Lane to Escars to divide the land; the ditch still existed by 1900.[2]
