Goxhill Hall moated site is a medieval monument located in Lincolnshire comprising a moated enclosure associated with a complex of fishponds, drainage channels, and relict field systems. The moat itself represents the defensive or status-defining earthwork characteristic of high-status medieval settlement, whilst the fishponds and water management infrastructure indicate sustained medieval agricultural investment and the exploitation of water resources for food production. The site's field pattern and drainage works reflect the medieval organisation of the landscape surrounding the hall itself. The monument dates to the medieval period, with the integrated system of water features and earthworks suggesting occupation and development spanning the twelfth to sixteenth centuries or later.
