Chapel Hill moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Lincolnshire, England, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site comprises a substantial rectangular moat surrounding the former hermitage, dating to the medieval period, with physical earthworks remaining substantially intact despite the passage of centuries. The moat itself represents a significant engineering investment, typical of high-status medieval religious sites, and the hermitage occupies a position of archaeological importance within the landscape history of medieval Lincolnshire. The surviving earthworks continue to provide valuable evidence for understanding medieval hermetic settlement patterns and the physical organisation of religious communities in the English medieval countryside.
