Abbey Hills moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises a substantial moat surrounding what is believed to have been a monastic or high-status secular residence, dating to the medieval period. The earthwork survives as a largely complete moat circuit, representing a form of defensive or prestigious domestic arrangement common among both religious and lay landowners from the twelfth century onwards. The site's moated character and scale indicate a settlement of considerable importance within the medieval landscape of Lincolnshire, though the specific identity and founding date of the religious foundation associated with it require further archaeological investigation and historical documentation.
