Castle Dyke moated site is a medieval earthwork located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval manorial settlement, dating to the medieval period. The moat and associated earthworks represent the physical remains of a high-status residence, though the specific dating and archaeological history of this particular example remain subjects of local and regional archaeological study. Such moated sites across England typically served as the seats of minor nobility or substantial landholders during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries.
