Abbey Hills moated site is a medieval monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive feature characteristic of medieval manorial settlements and monastic establishments from the twelfth century onwards. The moat itself survives as a substantial ditch surrounding what would have been a residential or administrative complex, though the internal structures are no longer visible above ground. Such moated sites were typical of high-status medieval occupation and provide evidence of settlement patterns and land management practices during the medieval period.
