Belleau Manor moated site and dovecote is a medieval monument located in Lincolnshire, comprising the earthwork remains of a moated enclosure alongside a standing dovecote structure. The moated site represents a form of defensive domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, with the water-filled ditch serving both practical and status-conferring functions for the manor house it once protected. The associated dovecote, a specialized agricultural building, reflects the resources and social standing of the medieval manorial establishment. Together these features constitute an important archaeological record of medieval settlement patterns and rural estate organization in the East Midlands.
