Griff medieval settlement and Cistercian monastic grange is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately four hundred metres west of Griff Farm in Yorkshire, England. The site represents the physical remains of a medieval agricultural complex associated with Cistercian monastic exploitation of the landscape, dating to the medieval period when such granges formed an essential component of monastic estates and economic organisation. The monument comprises earthwork evidence of settlement structures and associated agricultural features characteristic of a working grange, reflecting the Cistercian order's systematic approach to land management and resource extraction across their dispersed holdings. The site's preservation as earthworks contributes to understanding medieval monastic economy and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire region.
