Coates medieval settlement and moated site is a scheduled ancient monument in Lincolnshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement with an associated moated enclosure. The site dates to the medieval period and represents evidence of settlement organisation and land use typical of the medieval countryside. The moated element indicates a residence of some social standing, as moated sites commonly enclosed the domestic and agricultural buildings of medieval landholders of middling rank. The earthworks survive as surface features that contribute to understanding medieval settlement patterns and territorial organisation in Lincolnshire.
