Hall Close moated manorial complex is a medieval earthwork monument located in Lincolnshire, England. The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of manorial settlements of the medieval period, with surviving banks and ditches that define the former residential and domestic precinct. The moat would have served both defensive and status-conferring functions typical of minor gentry and manorial landholding in medieval England. The earthworks remain largely unexcavated and represent an important example of the settlement archaeology of the medieval Lincolnshire countryside.
