Bassingthorpe Manor moated site is a medieval earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a substantial moated enclosure that represents the defensive and residential arrangements typical of medieval manorial settlements. The moat itself survives as a visible earthwork feature, indicating the former presence of a manor house within its protective circuit. Such moated sites are characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the twelfth century onwards, and this example demonstrates the importance placed upon the status and security of the manor house within the wider agricultural landscape of medieval Lincolnshire.
