Bennington Grange moated site is a medieval settlement earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a common form of domestic and agricultural settlement defence in medieval England, particularly characteristic of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. The moat itself survives as a substantial water-filled or damp linear feature surrounding the former residential and working areas of the grange. As a moated site, Bennington Grange represents the physical infrastructure of medieval rural occupation and land management, likely associated with monastic or manorial agricultural production typical of the period.
